Particularly for LTS releases, which many people will want to use in their containers, it is not wise to not use release-security and release-updates. Furthermore the fix allowing ssh to allow the container to shut down is in lucid-updates only.
With this patch, after debootstrapping a container, we add -updates and -security to sources.list and do an upgrade under chroot. Unfortunately we need to do this because debootstrap doesn't know how to. Changelog: Nov 14: as Stéphane Graber suggested, make sure no daemons start on the host while doing dist-upgrade from chroot.
