first of all, you're not supposed to run it like this (use -- seperator, see man lxc-start).

then, the busybox template never really worked on debian anyway, i'm removing it in the next upload (i have no interest in it, but if you want it, send patches to upstream fixing it up).

but even in the case of using a proper debian container, you cannot run a shell like that in the first place anyway. the alternative command specifiable to lxc-start is, either for non-interactive commandline programs only, or, to specify an alternative init program.

if you want to run something interactive in there, you have to start the container properly, or, use chroot. the later is what you want for that use case, coupled with cgroups-bin. lxc is for containers.
