Using Ubuntu live CDs, I verified that this did not happen in 18.04 and happens in both 18.10 and 19.04.

There, it writes unquoted values like the following, which are a shell syntax error: IPV4DNS0=1.2.3.1 1.2.3.2 1.2.3.3 Then, initramfs-tools/init tries to source that in various places, and produces the following message a lot of times: /init: /run/net-enp0s3.conf: line 8: 1.2.3.2: not found I.e. values should be quoted, and 2 DNS entries should go in IPV4DNS0/IPV4DNS1, not multiple unquoted ones in IPV4DNS0.
