Now that lxc containers are so easy, how about adding systemd unit files that will start/stop them and autostart them at boot time?
This is a simple script to generate systemd unit for for a container. It appends a _container prefix to the name of the container e.g. the container named webproxy is managed by service file webproxy_container.service.
You can add and remove unit files for any container with this script.
Enjoy.
