Thanks for giving this a try. Sorry for the confusion; you guessed
correctly; the update is to Xenial.

All you should need to do on your MAAS host is:

 echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-proposed restricted
main multiverse universe" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update; sudo apt install curtin

I typically specify the package, we don't need you to upgrade everything.

It appears that the updated curtin isn't installed;  Try directly installing
with sudo apt install curtin as your policy shows it's available, but not
yet
installed.

The curtin package needs to be updated only on the MAAS host;  MAAS handles
getting curtin over to the ephemeral environment.
