Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
ifrename was dropped in favor of udev, but there is now no user-space way to rename interfaces. The old way to rename interfaces with ifrename was:
ifrename -c /dev/null -i $OLDIFACE -n $NEWIFACE

This obviously isn't a bug with udev ;)
You're free to repackage ifrename and upload it - just be sure to remove all traces of its /etc/iftab support and init.d script, otherwise you'll end up with very bad deadlocks between it and udev
