Thank you for working on this.

Has this been fixed in the development release, and if so, how?

It's not clear to me that making this change is the appropriate thing to do in an SRU. How is LXC_DEVEL used in practice? Have you analysed known reverse dependencies to understand the impact of making this change? What did you find?

The only impact to users that I can understand from your explanation is that VERSION_AT_LEAST is disabled, causing builds outside the archive that use that macro to fail. Everything else seems to make the assumption that the correct way to fix this is to change LXC_DEVEL from 1 to 0, but without explaining why this is the minimal change possible.

Is there any other actual real world impact?

Could you just patch to make VERSION_AT_LEAST work instead, for SRU purposes, to minimise regression risk?

Please note the entire paragraph from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates that includes the following text:
