I just compared the content of lxc 1.1.5-0ubuntu6 which I'm assuming was
the last working LXC version in cloud images and lxc
2.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 that we have now and neither provides any
/etc/init.d script nor am I seeing any packaging change on our side
which would explain this.

Packaging diff stat:

So it indeed seems like something in the packaging tools (init-system-helpers, debhelper, invoke-rc.d, ...) caused the change in behavior, causing this bug for any package which ships upstart jobs or systemd units without an accompanying sysvinit job, as is the case of LXC.
