I put a branch at https:/ /code.launchpad .net/~smoser/ ubuntu/ +source/ initramfs- tools/+ git/initramfs- tools/+ ref/lp- 1631010 with a fix for this.
other improvements too:
improvements to dhclient handing of ip= command lines.
Improvemnts here are:
a.) do not leave /run/net-* around if dhclient failed
b.) support ip6= on the kernel cmdline
ip6=
off : default. ip= does not mean to do ipv6
only : only do ipv6 (no ipv4)
on : always do ipv6 even if ipv4 succeeded.
iff : do ipv6 if and only if ipv4 fails
c.) wait for link local address to settle (dad) before
attempting to dhcp -6
d.) do not run through the dhcp configure once for each ROUNDTTT
