It is still possible to create containers for jessie and stretch, although you
need to manually specify the archive mirror and keyring:
lxc-create -t debian -n stretch -- -r stretch \
--mirror=http://archive.debian.org/debian \
--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg
While the jessie container starts up, it doesn't automatically get an IP -- I
didn't perform any further investigation. stretch works just fine.
Debian releases wheezy and earlier fail to create the container in various ways.
This commit just changes the presented list of releases; there is some existing
logic for handling archived releases, but I didn't want to risk breaking things
by tinkering with the existing code.

On a Debian sid system with lxc 5.0.3 and the latest snapshot of lxc-templates,
attempting to create an alpine container fails with the error "mknod:
dev/console: File exists". This had been reported a while back in Debian
bug #998095 and partially addressed in #46.
I performed some testing of the resulting alpine container, and things appear
to be working correctly.

I think this is leftover from when lxc-templates was split out from lxc.
There's no need to install empty directories /var/cache/lxc/ and
/var/lib/lxc/.
