Public bug reported:
When adding ipv6 netboot support to initramfs-tools in yakkety/zesty,
this was initially attempted with replacing ipconfig with dhclient. As
described in LP: #1621507, the use of dhclient for ipv4 dhcp was backed
out in favor of ipconfig. So at the moment, we are using both ipconfig
from klibc-utils and dhclient from isc-dhcp-client in the initramfs.
We want to switch off of klibc-utils completely and use isc-dhcp-client
for both ipv4 and ipv6 in initramfs-tools.
** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
