This is why liblxc1 has a "Depends: cgroupfs-mount | systemd", as
cgroupfs-mount should be used to mount cgroupfs on non-systemd systems.
(I say should, as it is perfectly fine to do it otherwise, just
cgroupfs-mount is what we have tested).

I guess in your case the systemd binary is installed (but not used as
init) and thus the dependency did not trigger?
