Interesting observation, thanks! I cannot confirm that the single line is generally broken -- I've tested it on two different computers (although only amd64) and it works fine. However, there is no harm in splitting the rule, so I'll do that for the next SRU if it helps things.

It appears the regression is here: * Set MAC based name for USB network interfaces only for universally administered (i. e. stable) MACs, not for locally administered (i. e. randomly generated) ones. Drop /lib/systemd/network/90-mac-for-usb.link (as link files don't currently support globs for MACAddress=) and replace with an udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/73-special-net-names.rules. (Closes: #812575, LP: #1574483) As Raspberry Pi's use eth0 via USB, this breaks running systems.

SRU TEST CASE ============= * Boot with "net.ifnames=0" on the kernel command line, and connect an USB ethernet device. It will still be called enxDEADBEEF with current xenial. With the -proposed version it will instead keep the kernel name, like "usb0" as intended. * Do "sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules" (the other documented way to disable ifnames) and do the above connect/name check test again.
