I'm actively using LXC, however, I use a custom overlayfs method to
create OpenWrt containers.

I manually use debootstrap to setup Debian rootfs and throwing that at
LXC works great. I once went through the Debian template and believe it
would make sense to fix it up to work on OpenWrt, so LXC becomes more
useable. Do you have gnupg installed? If not or if GPG stuff fails for
some reason, you can try to to modify the Debian template to use
debootstrap having the signature checks disabled (not ideal,
obviously).

I never tried lxc-download nor the LuCI GUI which is afaik just a
proof-of-concept and not that usable in it's current state.

If you feel like helping, please suggest a patch via github.

Good question... @luka ?
