Bug Description
[Impact]
All users of netplan on new installs of Ubuntu 18.04.
[Test case]
1) Install 18.04.
2) Open /etc/network/
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/
---
I have a fresh Bionic install with DI which doesn't mention netplan in ENI:
$ more interfaces
# /etc/network/
# 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.

This needs further investigation: d-i is doing something wrong if it's still writing /e/n/i, as netplan would otherwise have written the correct file on install.
This smells like a bug in netcfg. What was the network configuration for this install?
Assigning to myself while I run some d-i installs here to try to reproduce.
