[Bug 2019940] [NEW] Directly manipulating NetworkManager keyfiles

[Lukas Märdian]

Public bug reported:

The affected packages can manipulate NetworkManager keyfiles directly on
disk, which might not be appropriate anymore on Ubuntu, since the
Netplan integration was enabled in NetworkManager (starting with
Mantic), migrating any keyfile configuration from
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*[.nmconnection] to
/etc/netplan/90-NM-*.yaml
