That works for me.

In my opinion, both init systems should provide a system in the same state. 
The issue is womewhat larger than lxc, and we should probably ask outside for 
a proper fix. But I fear there still is a lot of stress around, with the new 
default init system, and I am tired just thinking about geting into that topic 
again... :(
