LXD upgrade fails on Ubuntu 16.04 without Systemd

Recently I tried to install LXD (Canonical's container manager) from backports on a Ubuntu 16.04 system (running without Systemd). The version shipping with the system (2.0) doesn't suffice, because I need the new storage API that was introduced with LXD 2.15. However, upgrading to the backports package failed post-install:

invoke-rc.d: initscript lxd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package lxd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-19) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lxd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Which was weird, since the upgrade had worked for me before.
