Same thing here, created an initial template on my workstation and
copied it to the host. But a template created on my Debian Jessie host
works just fine too, the cgroup issue only affects lxc-start.

Could you maybe also share that custom systemd service configuration?
Then I can continue to sit on my lazy butt and don't have to reinvent
the wheel :-) No, I'm just really busy with a migration right now and
it would be a great help to get this out of the way quickly! I'm not
really up to speed with systemd yet... :-\

Yeah, weird. Everything from /etc/login.defs:ENV_SUPATH is missing.
But only happens on lxc-attach, when logging in with ssh the
environment is fine. But this is not my top-priority atm, will look
into it later.
