That's also painful because then I have to start adding various PPA's to be
able to use later versions of nginx, php, mariadb et al. One of the reasons
for me wanting to use wily is to get myself skilled up and ready to deploy
systemd server hosts in general, aside from systemd based containers, so
"going backwards" is not my ideal solution.

And that one could be workable but I'm stuck with the same catch-22 in that
I need the network to be working before being able to update and install any
new packages!

Sure, I can manually do this for a single install but I've been developing a
shell script to automate multiple installs from just after lxc launch through
to a fully configure WordPress ready for client usage. I was hoping that
unprivileged LXD containers with systemd would have stabilized by now but
obviously not.

Anyway, thanks again for your suggestions.
