Bug#840529: systemd-sysctl.service does not run in LXC containers

[Christian Hofstaedtler]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

systemd-sysctl.service does not start in LXC containters, as they
have /proc/sys R/O. *BUT* /proc/sys/net is R/W.

It'd be useful if the net-specific settings would still be applied at
boot.

Arch has "fixed" this in their lxc package by modifying
systemd-sysctl.service when creating a new container, but this can
not be the correct solution.
See https://github.com/lxc/lxc/pull/683/commits/427d42930d99f93bf78c61ec9f555dd883c5039e

Thanks,
C.
