			The system output usually contains a symlink from /etc to the static configuration for the benefit of the stage-1 script in the initrd. The stage-2 script is usually started in the real root without such a symlink. In a container, there is no stage-1 and the system output is used directly as a real root. If the symlink is present, setup-etc.pl will create a symlink cycle and the system cannot boot. There is no reason for the /etc link to exist in a container because setup-etc.pl will create the necessary files. The container module will now remove the /etc symlink and create an empty directory. The empty /etc is for container managers to populate it with site-specific settings; for example, to set the hostname. This is required to boot NixOS in an LXC container on another host.
