Sounds like something that should be done at runtime.
For now, a rebuild would fix users that have newer lxc, but it would be possible
to have the old one with a rebuilt anbox if you don't force a minimum version.
Thus you should probably do a maintainer upload bumping the build and runtime
dep to ensure you get the newer configuration.
