would be great if someone could do that, additionally and regardless of
any other options. would you be willing to take care of that (by opening
a bug against release-notes)?

i don't really see how that would be possible, without doing an abuse of
debconf.

systemd could check in postinst for being executed in a container, and
then warn about it. this seems to be the obvious thing to do to me, but
i guess that since you got redirected from systemd to lxc, that the
systemd maintainers wouldn't want to do that.

don't think that's the right place to do it.
