Daniel, are you suggesting that the fix is to untar the upstream tar file
over the top of the dpkg installed files? From a system management and
stability point of view I find this option undesirable.
Anyway here is a unified diff that fixes the problem with the LVM backing
store and still works with the default backing store. I haven't
tested other backing stores but their behaviour should be unchanged.
I'd consider it highly desirable to get this patch in the Debian package
so that LXC isn't broken with an LVM backing store.
