Hi Santiago,

  Thanks for the report. With the latest version of lxc-templates
(pending upload with some related bug fixes) it is possible to create
containers for jessie and stretch; wheezy and earlier simply no longer
work:

> lxc-create -t debian -n stretch -- -r stretch \
>   --mirror=http://archive.debian.org/debian \
>   --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg

  The jessie container starts up, but it doesn't automatically get an
IP -- I didn't perform any further investigation. stretch works just
fine.

  I have updated the list of supported releases in the template's help
output to list only non-archived releases. Underlying support is still
there, and a new section in the help output will describe how to create
a container for an archived release.

Mathias
