Hi,

so first glitch I found is that /etc/subuid was not created for me.
login.postinst only creates that on new installs.  In Ubuntu it
does so anytime it does not exist - I assume you made that change
on purpose?  usermod -v refuses to run if the file does not exist,
so users will need to be told to create those files themselves.

>From there I was able to start an unprivileged lxc container, so
the basics seemed to be correct.

Thanks!
