Comment 7 for bug 1558271

netcfg is embedded into the d-i, so I took current d-i from xenial updates and rebuilt it with sbuild to get the new netcfg from xenial-proposed.

upon selecting interfaces I opted in to "automatically configure" it, and waited for that to fail.
I was presented with just 4 options "retry, retry with hostname, configure manually, do not configure network". There was no "empty" option with just a ','.

I checked using d-i shell that netcfg is at 1.135ubuntu4.2 as reported in /var/lib/dpkg/status file.
