Testing with libvirt led me to the expected issues: eth0 in /e/n/i vs.
ens3 on the kernel side. Applying both patches to systemd and rebuilding
d-i against its updated udebs gave me proper support for a basic
installation (with ens3 in /e/n/i), and also for a desktop-based
installation (xfce with network-manager, nothing but loopback in
/e/n/i).

So that looks good to me!

Yeah, I felt like getting part of the first commit would do, but it
feels a bit better to avoid cutting patches in halves, and to simply
merge both of them. As long as you're OK with it, and testing agrees…
I've done that and published the debian/221-1+deb9u1 tag on my stretch
branch here:

Looks great, thanks!

I'm attaching the source debdiff against the version in testing to this
mail, so that Niels can (possibly) give me a green light for an upload.
