you don't need to pull in all packages. you can use artax-backports excately the same as squeeze-backports (means, apt-get install -t artax-backports lxc linux-2.6). that way, you get only that what you want/need (though upgrading all packages is ok and supported, unlike squeeze-backports). > Do I need to add your keys for that to just work?

Is there a concise > list somewhere of what LXC needs enabled if I build a 3.2 kernel? you can use the standard debian configuration, no need to start from scratch, you can 'extract' it from the linux-2.6 package (experimental has 3.2 pre-releases, pick the right flavour of linux-image-$whatever package, extract /boot/config-* from it, and use that). fyi, my kernel backports track sid, means, once 3.2 gets uploaded to sid, i'll upload it to artax-backports. according to the kernel team, they do want to upload 3.1.8-1 first though, so 3.2 backports looks like not going to happen over the weekend.
