Cannot allocate lxd:ubuntu-16.04: cannot launch lxd container: exec: "lxc": executable file not found in $PATH

I was looking to start using spread very soon while we're redeploy some ci infra. I've got a fresh Xenial instance. I can launch and list lxc a-ok as my user, but can't get spread to do the examples.

It has the same error whether installed in strict or in dev mode.
