Public bug reported:

Just installed 16.04 over a 14 version. I discovered that the actual
interfaces file is not working correctly. Tried many choices, even using
pre-up sleep 10 before configuring the IPv6 manual addresses, but didn't
worked. This is the example file:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
 mtu 9000
 address 172.16.0.7
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 dns-nameservers 10.10.10.3 80.58.61.250 80.58.61.254 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 
2001:470:1f09:495::3 2001:470:20::2

iface eth0 inet6 auto

allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
 mtu 9000
 address 10.10.10.7
 netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth1 inet6 static
 autoconf 0
 accept_ra 0
 address 2001:470:1f09:495::7
 netmask 64

allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet static
 mtu 9000
 address 10.10.9.7
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 gateway 10.10.9.1

iface eth2 inet6 static
 autoconf 0
 accept_ra 0
 address 2001:470:1f1d:275::7
 netmask 64
 gateway fe80::1

As you can see, both, eth1 and eth2 have manual/static IPv6 addresses.
Each one is in a different router. Only eth2 is the default gateway
(eth1 is usen only for internal communication with another LAN).
However, after reboot, the ifconfig shows:

All what I tried fails. If I issue a manual:
ip -6 addr add 2001:470:1f1d:275::7/64 dev eth2

it works.

I've noticed not sure if this is relevant, that the file
/etc/network/run/ifstate.eth2 is empty, and /etc/network/run/ifstate
only contains the other interfaces, but not eth2:

eth1=eth1
eth0=eth0
lo=lo

Before the upgrade it contained all the interfaces.

I've used GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0", to keep the
original interface names, not sure if that's relevant, just in case.
