Package: lxc
Version: 1:3.1.0+really3.0.3-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I just freshly installed the abovementioned LXC version (none was 
installed before).
When trying to create a simple container, I am experiencing the 
following issue:

   $ sudo lxc-create -t debian -n testcon -- -r buster
   lxc-create: testcon: parse.c: lxc_file_for_each_line_mmap: 142 Failed 
to parse config file "/etc/lxc/default.conf" at line "lxc.net.type = 
empty"
   lxc-create: testcon: parse.c: lxc_file_for_each_line_mmap: 142 Failed 
to parse config file "/var/lib/lxc/testcon/config" at line "lxc.net.type 
= empty"
   lxc-create: testcon: tools/lxc_create.c: main: 327 Failed to create 
container testcon

If I replace "lxc.net.type = empty" by "lxc.net.0.type = empty" in
/etc/lxc/default.conf, everything works out fine.
