This is implemented in the biosdevname package, which I think we should get into Debian. I got it into Ubuntu a while back, but have been neglecting to sync up Debian. Alex, what's the progress of your ITP (#617820)? Would you like to work together based on my Ubuntu package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname), which in turn was somewhat based on the packaging provided by upstream? -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
