Bug Description
A cloud image /etc/network/
| # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
| # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
|
| # The loopback network interface
| auto lo
| iface lo inet loopback
|
| # The primary network interface
| auto eth0
| iface eth0 inet dhcp
A better version might be:
| # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
| # Include files from /etc/network/
| source-directory /etc/network/
|
| # The loopback network interface
| auto lo
|
| iface lo inet loopback
| auto eth0
We could possibly put 'eth0' inside /etc/network/
that might make it easier to remove/replace.

So, some thoughts on this that I'd like to get some feedback on (slangasek or stgraber).
a.) Should we put 'eth0' configuration into /etc/network/ interfaces. d?
my feeling is that we should. This is possible to cause some breakage, but its fine with me to have to fix things. I'd just rather do it earlier than later in case there is fallout.
b.) what should we name that file? Would convention be 'eth0' ?
