Title:
  cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf should work without
  /etc/network/interfaces symlink

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  See [1] for doc on cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf.

  cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf takes klibc ipconfig output and writes /etc/network/interfaces (ENI) style file in /run/network/dynamic-interfaces.
  The goal is to have the user's provided 'ip=' kernel parameters be "sticky" and not have the network interface get bounced by normal post-initramfs networking bringup.  Essentially kernel command line should override /etc/network/interfaces in a similar way to command line flags overriding environment or system configuration.

  As it is right now, we have to have ln -sf /etc/network/interfaces /run/network/dynamic-interfaces in order for this to work.
  That means:
   a.) if you've not done this, dyn-netconf isn't much use
   b.) if you *have* done this, but not provided ip= then you'll get you'll get no network configuration.

  In xenial, the one necessary change from a cloud image to maas image
  is this symlink, so that the image can work well with networking
  information being provided on the kernel command line via network
  boot.
