Public bug reported:

Hit this again today on 16.04 on a new system. Thought I'd reported this
but obviously not.

lxc-checkconfig erroneously reports:

Kernel configuration not found at /proc/config.gz; searching...
Kernel configuration found at /boot/config-4.13.0-37-lowlatency
--- Namespaces ---
Namespaces: enabled
Utsname namespace: enabled
Ipc namespace: enabled
Pid namespace: enabled
User namespace: enabled
Warning: newuidmap is not setuid-root
Warning: newgidmap is not setuid-root
Network namespace: enabled
...

17.10+ have the corrected version; it would be useful to get into 16.04.
