Just wanted to suggest an idea; could lxc generate a dummy 'lxcroot' initscript containing Provides: checkroot and the same dependencies as the real 'checkroot'? That should fill the 'gap' in the dependency chain, and would also make it clear that lxc and checkroot directly conflict.
no; the real solution is to just not run checkroot and disable it with update-rc.d. that is what an init system is good for, disabling/enabling things, no need for ugly hacks of diverting things.
Since checkroot is part of initscripts, being a required package in the base system, and considering a remote risk of breaking something on 'clean' systems during the deep freeze for Squeeze, it would think it a good idea to prefer to fix this in lxc.
it's not required to fix this specifically for squeeze (as lxc in squeeze is not much useful anyway). after squeeze, this should be fixed in ifupdown, hence the tag 'sid' to the bug.
