Thanks! That already makes a lot more sense, although it's still quite a
bit more complicated than necessary, and for sure a lot more complicated
than earlier versions that "just worked":

❱❱❱ sudo lxd init
Do you want to configure a new storage pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? 
→ ok, I suppose yes
Name of the new storage pool [default=default]: 
→ seems plausible
Name of the storage backend to use (dir, btrfs) [default=dir]: btrfs
→ could default to btrfs if /var/lib/lxd is on btrfs
Create a new BTRFS pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? 
→ that is either redundant or confusing
Would you like to use an existing block device (yes/no) [default=no]? 
→ IMHO this shouldn't even be asked, but as long as "no" works..
Would you like to create a new subvolume for the BTRFS storage pool (yes/no) 
[default=yes]: 
→ "yes" is the only plausible answer, as I already said that I wanted to create 
a btrfs storage backend
Would you like LXD to be available over the network (yes/no) [default=no]? 
→ finally done, and onwards to networking questions :)

But this was already the difference between "failure" (or "wreck your
hard disk") and "got it working", so thanks again for fixing!
