Comment 1 for bug 1549403

Many thanks for addressing this. Fixing this for an LTS is much appreciated indeed, as it will make the cloud images much more useful particularly for "real hardware" use cases, and also get rid of some gross hacks in e. g. autopkgtest, and fix the broken ppc64el images along the way (bug 1541757).

Do you have a plan how to test and roll this out? I can help testing this on various architectures and cloud+QEMU, but I think before this lands in the official cloud images this should be tested from a PPA (e. g. by running dist-upgrade on a current cloud image and removing the ifnames=0 hack from the grub config).

FF approved, thanks!
