It's about all I can do because my understanding of how udev works is
sparse. Continuing:
8. Observed there was a file, tmp-rules--70-persistent-net.rules, in
/run/udev. It had entries for the machine's two interfaces.
9. Updated the install, did a dist-upgrade and installed systemd. Deleted
70-persistent-net.rules and rebooted with init=/bin/systemd.
70-persistent-net.rules is not present afterwards.
10. Installed systemd-sysv and rebooted.
11. The 'ifconfig -a' output (without the 'lo' entry), is
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:f4:72:4e:e1

12. 'cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' has
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8139 (8139too)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",

A reboot without an 'rm' doesn't get the other interface added. There
is a tmp-rules--70-persistent-net.rules file containing the missing
(e1000e) interface.
The result above isn't obtained consistently; sometimes both
interfaces are shown and there is no tmp-rules file. Coincidentally
it seems to happen when the network cable to e1000e is unattached.
I have no idea what significance, if any, is to be attached to these
data. However, I'm now inclined to view the bugs in CUPS as more
tractable. :)
Regards,
Brian.
