Maas is being fixed to use “ip” instead of ifconfig. The reason why it
wasn’t noticed before is because MAAS does only use LTS releases for
commissioning. Since we only run ifconfig -a during commissioning, then the
regression wasn’t found till recently.

Title:
  ifconfig -s (or -a -s) only outputs 8 characters of the interface
  name, when interfaces are 10+ characters.

Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in net-tools source package in Bionic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When executing ifconfig, it outputs the whole 10 characters of the
  interface name. However, when using ifconfig -s (or ifconfig -a -s) it
  doesn't include all the name of the interface (or 10+ characters).
  Instead, it outputs only 8 characters of the interface.
