They are a completely distinct set of containers.  For one, the lxc-ls
ones are in /var/lib/lxc while lxc list ones are in /var/lib/lxd/containers.
For another, the configuration for lxd containers is in the lxd database,
not in configuration files, while the lxc ones are in /var/lib/lxc/$container/config.
