[Bug 1789119] [NEW] conversion from netplan to ifupdown broken

[Mason Loring Bliss]

Public bug reported:

A new install of Ubuntu 18.04 server suggests that ifupdown can be
accessed by installing and configuring it.

I was able to install and configure ifupdown, but booting hung on an
unlimited wait for network, and this didn't stop until I removed the
netplan.io package while booted using rescue media.

Once I did that, the interface I'd configured came up, except for the
supplied nameserver, which was evidently ignored - the systemd-networkd
127.0.0.53 address remained as the server in /etc/resolv.conf.

** Affects: netplan.io (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
