Ah, yes you did the right thing here, with newer distributions you do
not need this, as the available OVS version is enough to run SFC (and
in fact on 16.04 compilation would fail as you experienced).
In fact this was removed on master and backported to stable/newton branch:
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/networking-sfc/commit/?h=stable/newton&id=9256feca05db53bcfa656441b63d555874d3cf68
