Title:
  VLAN config not working in artful d-i

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  New
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in debian-installer source package in Artful:
  New

Bug description:
  When specifying the VLAN config in d-i (at least with daily image
  Sept. 18th and 19th) the VLAN config is not properly processed.

  Either the "Currently configured network parameters" summary in d-i is
  entirely missing or the interface line doesn't show the device with
  the VLAN suffix.

  Hence "detecting link" takes very long and the network is not working
  afterwards.

  See details with 16.04.3 behavior compared to 17.10:

  
  16.04.3:

  Currently configured network parameters:
   
   interface     = encc000.1234          <=== okay !
   ipaddress     = 10.123.123.11
   netmask       = 255.255.255.0
   gateway       = 10.123.123.1
   pointopoint   = <none>
   nameservers   = 10.123.123.1
  Is this information correct?
    1: Yes [*]  2: No


  17:10:

  Detecting link on encc000; please wait...    <=== took quite long

  ...
  Please enter the hostname for this system.
   
  The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the network. If 
  you don't know what your hostname should be, consult your network 
  administrator. If you are setting up your own home network, you can make 
  something up here.
  Hostname:
  Prompt: '?' for help, default=ubuntu> 
  s1lp11
   
  The domain name is the part of your Internet address to the right of your host 
  ...
  ===> means no "Currently configured network parameters" summary listed like with 16.04.3

  
  ===> and I had once the case where the summary lokked like this (VLAN suffix missing):

  Currently configured network parameters:
   
   interface     = encc000        <=== ".1234" missing
   ipaddress     = 10.123.123.11
   netmask       = 255.255.255.0
   gateway       = 10.123.123.1
   pointopoint   = <none>
   nameservers   = 10.123.123.1
  Is this information correct?
    1: Yes [*]  2: No
