Hi corrado, No, there is no reason to have to create a Wily partition to run unity8-lxc, if you don't want to. One of the main points of unity8-lxc is to allow users to try out the latest and greatest Unity 8 desktop without having to upgrade their Ubuntu release of choice, be it Trusty, Utopic, Vivid, or Wily. It uses the Linux Container (LXC) technology to achieve this.
LXC is basically an isolated file hierarchy that resides on the host's disk that contains the files for the distribution you want. Think of it as a very advanced chroot. I've taken great pains to try to make this work for all of the above listed Ubuntu versions, but I'm also relying on LXC which can change and break things. Also, Unity 8 and Mir are in constant development, so things can break there that are out of my control. That all said, an updated distro-info-data should be in -updates now, so downloading the latest the Ubuntu Desktop Next ISO should be working again.
