Bug Description

The man page
man 5 interfaces
states:

       By default, on a freshly installed Debian system, the interfaces file includes a line to source files in the /etc/network/interfaces.d directory.

A freshly installed 17.10 system lacks this line (and therefore is unable to handle interfaces defined in interfaces.d)
