Public bug reported:
Filing this bug for clarification and tracking on Ubuntu Bionic and
later.
Canonical cloudimages for Ec2 and other clouds leave an artifact that
disables /etc/network/interface with the following content:
# ifupdown has been replaced by netplan(5) on this system. See
# /etc/netplan for current configuration.
# To re-enable ifupdown on this system, you can run:
# sudo apt install ifupdown
In following the suggested text, installing the ifupdown deb continues
to leave a broken system because ifupdown.postinst script creates an
/etc/network/interfaces.d parts directory but does not write out a
working /etc/network/interfaces file if the file exists on the system.
This leaves a broken /etc/network/interfaces files which doesn't source
/etc/network/interfaces.d/* and 3rd parties cannot use the interfaces.d
parts directory to extend networking config.
Cloud-init is one of those users of /etc/network/interfaces.d/ for
rendering system networking on cloud images. Per LP: #1867029
