Bug Description

When installing 16.04 in a v6-only environment (with dhcpv6 RA) /etc/network/interfaces is left unconfigured, I'd expect it to have an entry like:

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet6 auto
or
iface eno1 inet6 dhcp

But there's no entry for anything but loopback.

I've verified this on current ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso (SHA1=f3532991e031cae75bcf5e695afb844dd278fff9)

The scenario I used this time was a VM with two NICs, first one connected to v6 only network (with dhcpv6), second one disconnected. When installing Ubuntu everything is ok, it configures the network and downloads packages, but after first boot it's as above - /e/n/i doesn't have any entries for NICs, just lo.
