Builds OK but results in the network no longer being started
automatically at boot up - due to "eth0" now becoming "enp0s3".

Adding an entry for enp0s3 to the init-ifupdown interfaces file is a
solution. Running "touch /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules" as
suggested by the eudev Wiki (to force the interface name back eth0)
seems to work too.

Is there a recommended migration path so that the primary ethernet
interface is brought up automatically, as it was before?
