** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- networkd-dispatcher in bionic does not support overriding scripts or placing 
custom scripts in /etc, making it not configurable for a system administrator
+ networkd-dispatcher in bionic does not support overriding scripts or placing 
custom scripts in /etc, making it not configurable for a system administrator.
+ 
+ We patched it in bionic from /etc to /usr in a quick hack sort of way to
+ enable us to provide packaged scripts that are not conffiles. This now
+ restores the ability to have /etc scripts, while still keeping the /usr
+ thing in tact.
  
  [Test case]
  1. Check that /etc/networkd-dispatcher/$event/$foo overrides 
/usr/lib/networkd-dispatcher/$event/$foo for some event directory $event, and 
some script $foo
  2. Check that a script in /etc is executed correctly without a script in /usr
  3. Check that a script in /usr is executed correctly without a script in /etc
  
  Can just run networkd-dispatcher -T to retrigger the current state as
  user to verify
  
  [Regression potential]
  If something went wrong with the implementations, scripts would not execute 
or in the wrong order, or the wrong script might execute (/usr where overriden 
in /etc).
