If I had to guess, I would say that screenlets was removed because of
some dependencies on Python 2. (Ubuntu is trying to move away Python 2
and toward Python 3.)

It looks like the screenlets package existed in Ubuntu 16.04 for a bit
was remove sometime before the launch:
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/xenial/universe/base/screenlets

I tried to install the package of screenlets for Wily Werewolf from these locations:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/screenlets
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/screenlets-pack-basic

I got the following errors:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of screenlets:
 screenlets depends on python-support (>= 0.90.0); however:
  Package python-support is not installed.
 screenlets depends on python-gnome2; however:
