ok the steps for ubuntu 13.10 w/ docker are a tiny bit debian-tricky but easy enough. You have to add saucy-proposed to your repos & pin * at 400 from that repo. then you install lxc from that repo. So the install goes like this:
cat >/etc/apt/preferences.d/saucy-proposed <\EOF
Package: *
Pin: release a=saucy-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400
EOF
cat >/etc/apt/sources.d/saucy-proposed.list <\EOF
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-proposed main restricted universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-proposed main restricted universe
EOF
apt-get update
apt-get install -y -t saucy-proposed lxc
apt-get install -y lxc-docker

I had to go to System Settings > Software & Updates and check the Pre-released updates (saucy-proposed) option too, otherwise I would get the error message e: The value 'saucy-proposed' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources.
