Package: ifrename
Version: 27-2
Severity: normal

ifrename is only run on startup if the hotplug package is also
installed.

Failure to run at startup means that network interfaces acquire their
default eth0, eth1 etc. labels, and not those specified in /etc/iftab

Running 'ifrename' manually after booting allocates the correct
interface names.

hotplug includes the script /etc/hotplug/net.agent which appears to run
during system boot.

The ifrename package does not depend on hotplug: perhaps it should?
