** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ All users of netplan on new installs of Ubuntu 18.04.
+
+ [Test case]
+ 1) Install 18.04.
+ 2) Open /etc/network/interfaces for editing.
+ 3) Verify that it contains text to notify the user that Ubuntu 18.04 now uses
netplan for network configuration.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Upgraded systems and other customized installations may already contain
/etc/network/interfaces with existing settings for network devices. These
should not have the /etc/network/interfaces file modified in any way, and
retain previous network settings and connectivity. Behavior changes in systems
running ifupdown instead of netplan may indicate a potential regression caused
by netplan modifying /etc/network/interfaces. Newly installed systems should
include the appropriate netplan configuration for that system under
/etc/netplan/*.yaml (either as configuration from the installer, in which case
static IPs or DHCP may be used, or as a simple file setting the renderer to
"NetworkManager" in the case of desktop installs). Newly installed systems
should additionally include a comments-only /etc/network/interfaces pointing to
/etc/netplan. Changes in connectivity behavior on existing installs should be
investigated as possible regressions. Changes in connectivity behavior in new
installs (compared to previous releases) would typically not be regressions
from this SRU, but should be noted as possible limitations in netplan, and thus
require bug reports.

I have a fresh Bionic install with DI which doesn't mention netplan in
ENI:
- $ more interfaces
+ $ more interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# Generated by debian-installer.
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
This is particularly confusing since ifupdown is not installed :)
I think this file wants to say that netplan is installed by default,
ifupdown is still available if needed, and where to go for more
information.
