By the way I have build Bacula packages for Xenial based upon Bacula 7.4 and added it to my ppa:

Bacula 7.4 OSS is based upon Bacula Enterprise 8.4 and contains many bug fixes and improvements.
The 7.4 director is compatible with 7.0.5 (and older) file daemons so you can use it in a mixed environment.

Don't forget to upgrade your database afterwards (7.2 has a new format, only small changes).
Xenial also includes MySQL 5.7 which has a different standard SQL mode. That causes problems with my bacula database as the bacula default value for timestamps are no longer allowed.
Adding sql_mode='' to the mysql.cnf solves this.
