This is a more complex issue; it's not just about LXD, but the general story for installing "minimal" installs.
The fact that openssh-server was not installed as part of the ubuntu-server is a separate bug we've covered in a different bug report.
Currently, desktops allow picking a "full" install or "minimal" installation. You also somewhat have that option for the d-i mini.iso; but IIRC not really on the new Subiquity installer.
I think this needs to be a larger question than just for LXD; and will need addressing elsewhere than in ubuntu-meta in any case. Reassigning to debian-cd (where we have the grub menus and more magic for selecting "minimal" install).
