Title:
  ps -eo lxc no longer shows a task's lxc container

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I use the ps command's "lxc" format specifier, for example:

  ps -eo pid,lxc,command

  The second output column is supposed to show "the name of the lxc
  container within which a task is running.  If a process is not running
  inside a container, a dash ('-') will be shown." [1]

  This worked fine until I upgraded from ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10, which
  brought me from lxc 3.03 to 3.04.  Now, that column always contains a
  dash instead of the container name, even for processes that are
  running inside a container.  The "lxc" format specifier seems to be
  broken now.
