The definition of grave is: “makes the package in question unusable or
mostly so, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing
access to the accounts of users who use the package.” While it might
make the package unusable on YOUR system, this is only an issue for some
particular, not so common setups.
Also, this issue has nothing to do with RDMA, and while there are
similarities, I'll treat this as a separate bug.

Can you provide me with a copy of your /etc/network/interfaces file? In
particular, did you use "auto eth0" or "allow-hotplug eth0"? If the
interface's presence is delayed because of the USB hub being initialized
in parallel, then using allow-hotplug might work around the issue for you.

Good point, I have to fix #900269 to do that.
