It was easy to overlook that these are not the same issue because of
the exact same command in cloud-init failing, because I didn't have
"net-base" installed (because the original reporter got the package
name wrong) and because I experienced the issue around the same time
the bug was opened. For that mistake, I apologize.

In what possible way would such an error not be a bug? Can you clarify
what you mean with an example? Surely even if netstat is being called
before the interface is ready (which is the only other possibility I
can imagine causing this right now), shouldn't that be an expected
possibility by the code and handled gracefully.
