The relevant parts of the log are likely the following:
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Network config complete
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: No interface given; clearing /etc/network/interfaces
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Writing informative header
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Success!
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Writing loopback interface
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Success!
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Writing DHCP stanza for wlp4s0
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: INFO: Detected wlp4s0 as a hotpluggable device
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Writing wireless options for wlp4s0
Jun 27 22:03:08 netcfg[4939]: DEBUG: Success!
Jun 27 22:03:09 netcfg[4939]: INFO: Unable to open file for writing network-manager configuration. The connection id (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) might not be set to a proper value.
And later:
Jun 28 03:20:31 finish-install: info: Running /usr/lib/finish-install.d/55netcfg-copy-config
Jun 28 03:20:31 netcfg: DEBUG: copy-config: /tmp/connection_type not found: netcfg did not complete or was compiled without network-manager support; exiting.
While I'm not familiar with all the details, it looks to me the funky
connection ID prevented some initial configuration, which led to a
missing file expected at the end of the installation, which in turn led
to a fallback /e/n/i configuration instead of the detected/desired NM
configuration. But seeing how the last DEBUG message leads to an early
exit in the finish-install script (responsible for copying things
around), I'm not sure why/how /e/n/i got copied from the installer's
context to the installed system…
In any case, this might not be a “big issue” as I feared, just
particular circumstances?
