Public bug reported:

initramfs-tools used to only execute klibc based networking with some
resolvconf hooks.

In recent releases, it has been greatly improved to use
isc-dhcp-client instead of klibc, support vlan= key (like in
dracut-network), bring up Z devices using chzdev, and generate netplan
yaml from all of the above.

Above improvements were driven in part by Oracle Cloud and in part by
Subiquity netbooting on Z.

Thus these days, instead of trying to reparse klibc files in
/run/net-*, cloud-init should simply import /run/netplan/$device.yaml
files as the ip=* provided networking information on the command line.
I do not currently see cloud-init doing that in e.g.
/cloudinit/net/cmdline.py
