With a bit of apt configuration you can use the lxd stable PPA without
pulling in its Go 1.6 packages.

Here's what I did:

$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/lxd-stable-pin
Package:  *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-lxc-lxd-stable
Pin-Priority: 200

Package: lxd lxd-tools lxd-client lxcfs lxc-templates lxc cgmanager
libcgmanager0 libseccomp2
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-ubuntu-lxc-lxd-stable
Pin-Priority: 500

The main problem with this approach is that you have to explicitly specify
the package names you do want to use, which will be a problem if package
names change or extra packages are added. Maybe someone with more apt foo
than me knows a better way.
