It'd be nice to validate the prerequisites (e.g. in `debconf` or at start) and fail with a better feedback (either at start, through package dependencies or a debconf warning (that the program can't be used or needs to be reconfigured)) or change default settings at installation.

It should be possible to start the container right away after installation of the apt package and handle eventually necessary setup tasks (of permissions, etc.) in `debconf`. Currently it's necessary to comment out all `lxc.network.*` entries in the container configuration file.
