Public bug reported:

PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5117

issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4057

Before the networkd from 231 was backported, it was possible to use
interface alias names that contained a colon, e.g. eth0:1. This is
commonly used to make legacy tools like "ifconfig" work, because they
*expect* a colon in the interface name.

Martin told me to file a bug for this.

Merging networkd from 231 lead to a regression where valid configs were
not accepted anymore after the backport. Please merge that fix for the
regression.
