I'm not sure if it does this natively, a workaround that I'm applying
in cloud-init's rendering of netplan config is to repeat "global" dns config
on each interface.

I'm not sure that cloud-init or curtin (or even netplan) could know if a
global dns route makes "sense" on a particular interface or not; but
maybe at the MAAS level would have enough information.
