Looks familiar! ;) I was intrigued by this idea last weekend so I
started such a script. However I only tested it as far as creating a
semi-correct rootfs. With the exception of network configs most of the
configs are still written as for debian. For example I know the selinux
policy enforcement settings need to move, the inittab needs to be
replaced by the proper upstart configs, etc.

Of course it's based heavily on Daniel's excellent lxc-debian script.
