THe recent reorg of lxc-ubuntu introduced some package installation in post-process but without first disabling service startup.
As a result, if the cache is a bit out of date and a ssh update is available, post-process will apply that update (as it does apt-get install ssh vim) which in turn will attemp to start sshd. This will either lead to ssh on the host being restarted or if there's no sshd on the host, will fail the container creation as the postinst will get an error from upstart. The fix is very simply to add the same policy-rc.d trick when running post-process.
