Xenial daily cloud image 20160129: insserv: Service mountdevsubfs has to be enabled to start service lvm2

This is causing juju bootstraps to fail on Xenial.

The command:

 update-rc.d lvm2 defaults

in the maintainer script is throwing the error; the mountdevsubfs is showing as masked by systemd:

$ systemctl status mountdevsubfs
● mountdevsubfs.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

but lvm2 is as well - so not quite sure what the problem is:

$ systemctl status lvm2
● lvm2.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Hi,

This appeared in the autopkgtests yesterday after I uploaded lvm2. This was caused by another upload that required pitti to fix things in the Xenial images

It was fixed late last night & the tests ran correctly
