OK. I found it. Thanks for the hint.
But so far it doesn't help me much.
Should I think that I'll have to chroot to the container, create these
devices and that it will then start correctly?
I cannot believe that the documentation is that poor.
We have a wiki LXC page that is called outdated by you, and no usable
doc in /usr/share/doc/lxc to fix that problem.
Where should we (the lusers) search then? I understand that testing is
"testing", not stable, but really in this case we could call it
"unstable" or even "broken".
I don't blame you, that's software dev. with it's problems. I blame the
total lack of useful and up to date doc.

What's in new?
The package?
And what NEW is?
Understand me well, I don't want to sound rude. But I'm not a Debian
dev. So I'm not comfortable with this terminology.

I still state that with the current doc, this package is unusable.
Totally useless.
So sorry for the efforts you probably made so far. I don't want to sound
like an asshole.
In the other hand, I told already that I'll be happy to document it on
my spare time, with your help, if you think it's boring (I now that
documenting is boring, so I want to help as much as I can).

OK, I'll wait then. Let's state I've learn the lesson to never try to
migrate stable to testing, even when it started freezing. :(

Not my days (or weeks :)) I think :)

Regards and cheers anyway. I appreciate your feedback.
