I wonder what created this? I can't imagine why a system would be configured
for fixed IP and yet have an ostensible DHCP configuration file at all, much
less specifying static configuration parameters. Does that installation also
have /etc/sysconfig/interfaces, and if so, is it last written subsequent to
/etc/dhcpd.conf? Or before?

Ha, I still use the file /etc/network/interfaces, same
way as I'm used
from previous versions of Debian. This is for me an unknown novelty. It
has some advantage over the interfaces file?
For the first time since Hermine, I booted host g5eas, which has both 16.04
and Jessie. Both are configured with static IP. Both have
/etc/sysconfig/interfaces. Neither have /etc/dhcpd.conf.
