As quickly discussed on IRC, this should not affect users upgrading from
jessie, as those should have a
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file which should ensure that
we keep the eth0 names.

So this only potentially affects s390x users which installed debian9
using a stretch rc2 or older installer. The rc3 installer already ships
a new enough udev.

Regards,
Michael
