I do not know. I once debootstrapped an older Debian release into a directory on the nfs server, added some packages, updated the whole thing to jessie some days ago and then netbooted the client. > Are you actively preventing it from being created?

I know how to create 70-persistent-net.rules manually, but the thing is that this has to work for about 250 computers, so I cannot do it by hand.
