lxc-setup worked fine, after I figured out it is best to just checkout 
the whole svn dir and move to infra01. All the templates for debconf 
seem to be required in any case, but I was only creating stub 
containers. But we can just keep it on /root on infra01 imho. I had to 
install some libs for python as well, not too hard, but was wondering 
why they were not installed.

I also should read some documentation on lxc, still wondering how to get 
the console (and to get rid of it) when starting the container detached. 
With vservers I could get into the system without a password, not sure 
how this is with lxc, if I had a console, I had to enter username / 
password. Another thing is I am wondering about is, if I need to change 
something or if I am allowed to user halt and reboot to shutdown or 
restart a container.

But that worked out somehow so far, but some education still needed.

What I am most unclear about is, what to change on the file system for 
using the system with lxc. I used the script from the LXC Tutorial to 
create a new /dev, deleted some scripts regarding devices and system 
clock - but still unsure what to keep and what do purge. I also had to 
adjust hostname and network stuff, but mostly copied this from svn.
