Title:
  dhclient fails to set default route

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  We are trying to migrate our systems from trusty to xenial. There are no changes to dhcp configurations. On a xenial host, upon running dhclient, the default route does not get set. However, the other static routes do get set. 

  I copied /sbin/dhclient-script from a trusty host to the xenial host
  and ran dhclient and voila the default route got set.

  Version I copied from:
  user at host:~$ dpkg -l isc-dhcp-client
