Zesty looks to be getting etcd3, though there are dependencies that
haven't synced/built yet[1].  Once that's done we can submit a backport and
get it available on Xenial and then just 'apt-get install backports/etcd'

Of course, using backports in LTS's is a little bit weird since the
security team won't maintain backports.
