The user should be prompted for a choice of loggers - syslog-ng or similar. This should be emerged and then enabled in the default runlevel.

We could provide a way to prompt (or read from a config file) additional services which will be automatically installed at the end of the script: dhcpcd, openrc, dns, logger etc..

and call a sort of after install hook script that manages every additional specific changes from default guest base system...

Since lxc-gentoo should really be normalised with other scripts called from lxc-create, and the future seems to be that the guest configuration will be handed down through libvirt to lxc userspace, I believe customisation options should be left on hold for the moment. The present (minimal) setup is a good place to leave functionality until the future path for execution and the expected/supported input parameter range is more clear. Also, adding too much customisation is moving too far away from the UNIX philosophy - do one thing, do it well.

Fine, let's be rigorous.
