Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded a virtual machine (xen guest) from Debian 11 to bookworm,
everything went well, but lost network on reboot.
The interface had changed its name from eth0 to enX0, I guess due to
this change in systemd v 250:
* The predictable naming logic for network interfaces has been extended
to generate stable names from Xen netfront device information.
(ref: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v250 )
I wonder if it would be nice to mention this in the systemd NEWS file or
in the release notes, so people do the needed changes in their machines
before rebooting the system after upgrade.
Sending this bug to release-notes but CC'ng pkg-systemd-maintainers@
Thanks!
