Yes, obviously that also works, but then you need to manually update the inittab of a container and rewire reboot/power failure actions to cause a shutdown as you describe. I'd really prefer shutting down a container just worked out of the box without any strange modifications to /etc/inittab for sysvinit. I really think shutting down containers properly is a functionality that LXC should support out of the box.
