update for this:

this patch is already included upstream in debian, and is already
included in yakkety.  It's not yet in xenial.  It's not required in
trusty (bug doesn't exist there).

additionally, bug 1633479 (which fixes this by putting the DAD wait in
isc-dhcp-client) is in proposed for p/t/x/y.  The root problem can be
fixed in either place (ifupdown via this bug, or isc-dhcp-client via
that bug), and doesn't need to be fixed in both.

So SRUing this to xenial will match the code that's upstream, and will
fix the bug for systems that don't have an updated isc-dhcp-client
(though I don't know why anyone would update ifupdown but not isc-dhcp-
client).  But, once bug 1633479 is moved from proposed to released in
xenial, this SRU isn't technically necessary, other than to keep
code/behavior similar between xenial and y+ ifupdown.
