Like, say, any security separation at all?

LXC is a glorified chroot with some scheduler niceties and a way to set
default IP for a group of processes.  If you want any security benefits,
you need vserver, openvz or BSD jails.


Speaking of which, did any of you guys start some work to get vserver or
openvz packaged the Debian way, as discussed in the recent flamewar?  Having
to use the upstream kernel patch directly is a massive duplication of work.
