It's maintained in my free time, so expect some delays. Volunteers
welcome. The site, packaging recipe, and binaries are available on
https://github.com/debian-lxc , and sometimes the update effort is as
simple as recompiling sources from ubuntu ppa, so the effort shouldn't
be too hard.

lxcfs is another story. I held up from updating as upgrading it (or to
be exact, restarting lxcfs) would cause all running containers to lose
access to lxcfs-provided ressources (e.g. some parts of /proc and
/sys), so you need to restart all containers as well. There's a recent
change in packaging to not restart lxcfs when upgrading though
(https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs-pkg-ubuntu/commit/904f24), so I'll
probably update it after the next lxc release.
