I'm tossing out another idea:

debian-installer, when installing the system initially, could write a 
config for grub which appends net.naming-scheme=<version of systemd the 
system was installed with>

So, once the system is installed, the net-naming-scheme would no longer 
change.

Haven't yet made up my mind, whether this is a good idea or not.

Would welcome feedback!


Michael
