> systemd-sysctl.service failed

This is indeed a known wart in LXD containers, and it's conceptually
difficult to fix (see bug 1576341 or
https://github.com/lxc/lxcfs/issues/111 for some earlier discussion).

It would be wrong if sysctl would entirely ignore all failures, as this
would make actual (unintended) failures/typos/etc. much harder to detect
-- we don't want to hide these.

"apt-get install --reinstall procps" in lxd actually works fine in
zesty, but not in xenial -- in xenial the postinst has "invoke-rc.d
procps start" which is gone from zesty.

The current versions (also in Debian) do not start the init script on
install/upgrades:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-
maint/procps.git/tree/debian/rules#n89

and I think that's the right thing -- this is usually something you want
done at boot, but not during runtime, and it potentially breaks package
upgrades too. So if you want to SRU this override_dh_install along, that
would be fine with me (with my SRU hat on).
