This is always touchy - how exactly did you compile and install lxc, and do
you have older versions of pieces sitting around?  I.e. what does
find / -name lxc-debian
find / -name liblxc*
find / -name lxc-create

return?

I see that you are in part installed in /usr/local/bin.  It would be better to
do configure --prefix=/usr and build/install with that.  That's only after
making sure to fully remove any ol dinstalls from /usr and /usr/loca.

By chance do you have $MIRROR set in your environment?  For some reason
your $release is "".  To debug, play around somehwere around line 550
of /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian.
