After upgrading to current stretch package versions and rebooting
(to rule out #801354), I can still reproduce the "Connection timed
out" messages (apparently reliably) by installing task-xfce-desktop.
I haven't found a smaller package set that does the same (at least not
reliably). If this is anything like #801354 then it might be a
race condition, so perhaps it's just less likely with smaller sets.

However, after waiting for the install to finish, systemctl still works
(I can restart avahi-daemon, for instance), rebooting also works (without
delay), and lightdm starts successfully after the reboot...  so the
worst of the symptoms do seem to be fixed, perhaps by fixing #801354.
I don't think this is necessarily release-critical.
