Thanks for maintaining the package. I've upgraded LXC to sid, I had the
following issues with sid version (should probably report it to
bugs.debian.org, but still):

In template ${_PARENT_AREA} was always empty (thus getting invalid
sources.lost) no matter what I selected so I had to replace it with
"main contrib non-free" Same goes for ${_PARENT_ARCHIVE_AREAS}.

and also at the end:

Shadow passwords are now on.
adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
chpasswd: (user ) pam_chauthtok() failed, error:
Authentication token manipulation error
chpasswd: (line 1, user ) password not changed


31696 execve("/usr/sbin/adduser", ["adduser", "--disabled-password",
"--gecos", "", ""], [/* 11 vars */]) = 0
31699 execve("/usr/sbin/chpasswd", ["chpasswd"], [/* 11 vars */]) = 0

I had to chroot and then manually set password, but I still get when
"booting":

hostname: you must be root to change the host name
mount: permission denied
mount: permission denied
