Bug#810247: Could be handled with `ifupdown`

[Elliott Mitchell]

Based on what I see in #810247 one option is to use `ifupdown`'s
interface renaming/mapping functionality.  Those can be used to assign a
name based on MAC address.  This is pretty similar to udev's stable
naming functionality.

I imagine most tools which offer similar functionality can rename based
on MAC address.

I do note Xen's virtual network interface driver manages to keep network
interface name stable.
