73-special-net-names.rules (or rather 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules) is Debian
specific so adding this information to the upstream wiki is not appropriate.

I wonder if we need to update udev.README.Debian indeed.

While net.ifnames=0 does disable 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules, the second
option we present (Disable the default *.link rules with
    "ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules")
does *not* disable the new naming scheme for usb network interfaces.
So the documentation is misleading/incomplete in that regard.
