Good. Please post the bug number here. 17.04 uses 232 and 17.10 uses
233 so I'm going to try to replicate your problem on 233 because, as
with many upstream projects, you might be told "try the latest
version."

I usually disable resolvconf so I'm not familiar with the default
setups. From where did dhclient/resolvconf get the search/domain
settings on 16.04? From "/etc/network/interfaces" or from the dhcp
server?
