SysVInit responds to SIGINT -- normaly with a reboot action -- and to SIGPWR. I add the line pf:12345:powerwait:/sbin/halt to the containers /etc/inittab file. In my lxc managing script I'm using this to gracefully reboot or halt ("powerdown") containers by sending this signals to the init of the container. If someone is able to add something to the upstart or other corresponding frameworks, I would suggest to use the same signals for compatibility.
