Packer doesn't assume the LXD container is running with SSH and thus doesn't know anything about a potential SSH setup. Packer uses the lxc command to upload, download, and exec commands in the container. To get that working with Ansible you have to use a special connection plugin, see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/connection/lxd.py.
