If you REALLY have (or want) to use debian jessie, I recommend at
least use jessie-backports:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=lxc
It has lxc-2.0.x which has lots of improvements over 1.0.x.

Some things, like autofs or loading kernel module, simply doesn't work
inside a container. Most linux programs can run just fine without it
though.

A simple google search for "linux binfmt" (or reading the link in
systemd unit) would've told you a lot. Short version, if you're not
using wine or qemu user emulation, it should be safe to ignore it.

If you're "just a user who wants to use linux container", I highly
recommend you use ubuntu + lxd + zfs instead. Ubuntu has gone a long
way to integrate lxd/lxc into their distro, including tweaking their
packages to be more container-friendly.
