Using packer to create base boxes?

It appears that packer
supports exporting Vagrant boxes for LXC, but it isn't clear what the inputs are, and how they're used? Can I build a box using QEMU, and then export it using the vagrant
post-processor, with lxc
as the type? That is how I handle generating docker
boxes. Is there a guide somewhere?
For reference, this page lists LXC as a valid vagrant
type for the post processor:
https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/vagrant.html
And these rather old, non conclusive issues discuss support:
But I couldn't find anything recent, or definitive. Nor could I find a guide on how to use to generate base boxes.
