Hi Mark,

I tend to disagree. Because

* linuxcontainers.org dropped support of templates other then "download".
   They actively maintain only the "download" template.
* Now each distro. seems having responsibility to maintain its own version of
   template, if that distro. is not satisfied with "download" template.
* Debian package maintainers maintains the Debian template, see
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/l/lxc-templates/lxc-templates_3.0.4-5_changelog
* "download" template only provides the limited choices of Devuan as
# lxc-create -n test -t download -- -d devuan
Setting up the GPG keyring
Downloading the image index

By the above observation, in my view,

(1) Attaching "upstream" to this issue is inappropriate. This is not an upstream issue.
(2) The question is whether or not Devuan is satisfied with "download"
template as above. If yes, attaching "wontfix" tag or closure of this issue is
appropriate.

Best regards, Ryutaroh
