[Bug 1513698] [NEW] $HOME variable set incorrectly inside container

[Serge Hallyn]

Right, this is mentioned in the manpage.  You can force environment
to be cleared by passing --clear-env.  Actually setting HOME to what
a login shell would do would require lxc-attach to make assumptions
about the container.  However you can

lxc-attach -n trusty-vimprobable --clear-env -- su - root

to get su (inside the container) to do the things you want.
