** Summary changed: - ditch ipconfig in favor of dhclient -4 in 18.10 + use dhclient -4 instead of ipconfig in easy cases in 18.10
** Description changed: 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. + for both ipv4 and ipv6 in initramfs-tools.
