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.
