Indeed, LXD was added to the default Ubuntu server seed in the 15.10
cycle, so this has been the case for at least 6 months.
LXD is extremely important to the Ubuntu server. Basically, every
Ubuntu server can now be 100x more Ubuntu (or other Linux) servers!
This is an important and key concept to Ubuntu as a scale out platform.
Note that LXD images are *not* downloaded until you use them for the
first time, so those aren't included in the base image.
Thanks!

Title:
LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC
and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual
Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of
the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is
not the best default behavior to have.
When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal
install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI
grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an
installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
