I'll need some help here, the lxc environment is doing something odd/wrong with
the proc filesystem. We've been bit before from lxc, but I don't know
enough about the
CI system to know what's going on.

This *might* be fixed with a commit checking for odd ways LXC presents files[1]
discussed at [2]. It also appears to be LXC version dependent.

Ideally, I'd like to push a pre-release into the Debian CI and see if
it works now. I'm not sure
there  is a way of doing that.
