Package: lxc-templates
Version: 3.0.4-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch chimaera ceres

Dear Maintainer,

There is no official way to build an LXC container running a Devuan host.
I modified /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian so that it can install Devuan
as attached diff.
I tested the modified template by the following two cases
on Devuan Chimaera amd64 host:

lxc-create -n devuan-beowulf -t devuan -- -F --enable-non-free -r beowulf
lxc-create -n beowulf-arm64 -t devuan -- -F --enable-non-free -r beowulf -a arm64

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto
