The only Ubuntu 16.04 system I have worked with is a laptop (so no UPS), and I have to say that it doesn't feel as much like an LTS release as 14.04. Can you reproduce the shutdown issue with upstart instead of systemd? (alternate GRUB menu option, IIRC)

I'm not sure if the PPA is the best solution at the moment, or whether the Ubuntu systemd files have been merged in. There is the following comment in the buildlog:

# Install systemd files only on systems where it's supported
# disabled in Ubuntu until the unit gets fixed to check nut.conf

I would recommend filing a bug with Ubuntu. It would help them track things down if you can identify the logs which should be running the systemd equivalent of "upsdrvctl shutdown" or "<driver> -k".
