my collectionscanner hangs at weird folders like /dev (which are part of lxc filesystem within the collection folder)

what can i do - except micromanage all folders?

Tested around a bit. The collection scanner knows how to avoid normal /dev, /sys and /proc, and also seems to be ok with symlinked versions of those. Apparently the relation is hidden somewhat deeper in lxc filesystems. It is helpful if you can provide more information on what the path of dev looks like when it's under lxc filesystem (and how it is connected there, link, mount or something else). I might inspect myself later, but as I don't have lxc filesystems available right away, that'll be post-3.0.
