I have had LXC working perfectly on Debian Wheezy for months.

I upgraded to lxc 1.0.6, compiling from jessie sources, which also seems 
to work well on wheezy, but I have not used it for long enough to be sure.

However, I am switching to ubuntu for the VM host because:

* I was having trouble getting nested containers to work.
* I was having trouble getting unprivileged containers to work.
* I could not compile systemd-shim, from jessie, without upgrading major 
parts of debian.

So, debian jessie might work, but for supportability and ease of 
installation I feel I am forced to switch to ubuntu, which I'm not 
overly happy about, but on ubuntu, it's just too easy to get everything 
working.
