If lxc-debian fails or is interrupted during debootstrap then the next invocation of lxc-debian breaks because it only checks for the existence of the directory. This forces the user to remove the cache by hand to retry the create step.
Let's allow the user to re-run lxc-debian to resume/retry. Store the cache in a partial-$ARCH directory until debootstrap succeeds. Then move the valid cache to its final destination.
