AFAIK it simply doesn't work with the old, bundled version of lxc. You
MIGHT be able to get around that by using sysvinit inside the container
(see the link below)

If you don't mind using third-party packages, try my howto:
http://debian-lxc.github.io/
It ports ubuntu's lxc-1.1.5 and related packages (including lxcfs, needed
for systemd-based containers), with documentation on how to install
sysvinit inside the container (involves lxc-usernsexec and chroot), or
replacing container's systemd version with a newer one (also ported from
ubuntu).

If you're feeling even MORE adventurous, you could also try
compiling lxc-2.0.0.rc1 directly from github sources.
