Title:
  fails to configure BOOTIF when using iscsi

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  we have a bad interaction between initramfs-tools and open-iscsi,
  resulting in the boot interface not being configured.

  when the iscsi has a static address, the script `local-top/iscsi` from
  open-iscsi creates a /run/net-$DEVICE.conf file for the iscsi
  interface. The existence of this file makes configure_networking()
  skip configuring the BOOTIF later due to this code in
  `scripts/functions`:

          for x in /run/net-"${DEVICE}".conf /run/net-*.conf ; do
              if [ -e "$x" ]; then
                  IP=done
                  break
              fi
          done
