The whole intent of Libertine is allowing users to install and use X
graphical applications in Debian package format on their Unity 8
devices.  Given that is the goal, if a user wants a shell inside the
container to run command line applications, then our suggestion is to
install a terminal application such as Terminator or Sakura inside the
container and then run that terminal application from within Unity 8.

I'm really not sure where it's documented that libertine-launch is
supposed to be used to get command line access inside a container.
libertine-launch was only developed as a helper application for ubuntu-
app-launch to start X applications in a Libertine container (and later
to launch snap applications).

As an aside, I understand power users want more control from the command
line such as ssh'ing in to the device and then accessing a container
from the ssh session, but honestly, that is really beyond the intended
design and scope of Libertine.
