Dear Maintainer,

thank you for your time and effort in supporting debian.

we are performing an FAI install where the dhcpd is supplying
rfc3442-classless-static-routes.  this causes errors and the
networking doesn't come up properly:

```

this bug has been identified and resolved in other distributions,

network-legacy: Revert some shellcheck that breaks parse_option_121 in dhclient [Orabug: 33778173]

this shellcheck quoting was introduced in:
fix(network-legacy): shellcheck for modules.d/35network-legacy · dracut-ng/dracut@8c0fcdd · GitHub
https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut/commit/8c0fcdd931883e0d2d58762f7fc5bbc2626d1c5d

the attached patch file reverts the problematic quoting and after the
initramfs is rebuilt the networking comes up properly.

thanks in advance.
