I tested with the PPA and it looks good in an initial test. Before, upgrading initramfs-tools and rebooting would result in AWS instance being unreachable. Now, it looks good!

We are seeing this problem in AWS, but cannot confirm if this issue is specific to AWS or will occur with different hardware or in different environments. Removing "ip=dhcp" from the boot options with 0.122ubuntu8.3 results in networking being configured. The issue does not occur with 0.122ubuntu8.2 or previous versions when "ip=dhcp" is set. AWS has no console so debugging is not a trivial task. I do have a console log with some output, and will update this bug shortly with it.
