Related to #1820755 - although the new linux-base is now available in xenial-updates, the kernel packages do not version their depends to demand the new version, so apt-get will not necessarily install it (which causes base-installer to fail, since debootstrap will not have upgraded from xenial-updates prior to installing base- installer/kernel/image, and will not upgrade when the linux-image- generic Depends are already satisfied)
