Considering libguestfs maintainer and Ioanna answers to my concern that
this code can never run outside the appliance and that can't create any
harm inside the appliance as well.
Also trusting that Ioanna will soon file a bug and submit the patch to
Debian as well.

Bug description:
[Impact]
libguestfs cannot configure network on Bionic onward.
This bug is a combination of libguestfs/supermin package and
/etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved script from systemd,
present on Bionic onward.
When supermin creates the appliance does chroot and executes its init script.
If networking is enabled init will call dhclient sript to configure the
network.
On Bionic onward the make_resolv_conf function of dhclient_script is
overwritten
in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eneter-hooks.d/resolved which before exiting restarts
the systemd.resolved service.
However, this happening in chroot environment fails with
"System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't
operate."
and network is left unconfigured.
[Test Case]
$ sudo guestfish -a xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img --network -v << EOF
run
mount /dev/sda1 /
command 'apt update'
EOF
libguestfs: launch: program=guestfish

[Regression Potential]
Minimal. The fix removes the /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eneter-hooks.d/resolved hook
installed by systemd.
systemd is not used inside the appliance so it should not cause any
regression.

Workaround
1) Assume that libguestfs is installed, if not :
$ sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools
2) Move the base.tar.gz to a temp dir, extract and remove tarball
$ sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/base.tar.gz ~/tempdir/
$ cd ~/tempdir
$ sudo tar -xzvf base.tar.gz
$ sudo rm base.tar.gz
3) Remove the etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved file
$ sudo rm etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/resolved
4) Create tarball again
$ sudo tar -czvf base.tar.gz etc
5) Move it back to installation dir
$ sudo mv base.tar.gz /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/
6) Clean cache
$ sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs*
