My two observations after testing it on a fresh Debian 7.1 install: * Package should have a hard dependency on rsync Reason: rsync is used during the copy rootfs task, when instantiating a debian template via lxc-create. The task and entire container creation process will fail unless the tool is installed on the host system. As such I don't regard rsync as optional. * Package should ensure cgroup is mounted (as already reported by Rob). Reason: container fails to start without it. I did notice you addressed Rob's comment, but having the package installer fix this would be a major usability improvement, compared to requiring the user to hunt through various documents, and end up consulting Google to find the solution to why container's refuse to start.
