A kernel boot param like net.ifnames=0 will be skipped when the installer
parses the boot option for setting the bootloader.
Found in di-utils:
# Skip module-specific variables
varnodot="${var##*.*}"
if [ "$varnodot" = "" ]; then
continue
fi
So basically any option containing a dot is not propagated to the
installed system. This was introduced by
7cf15980d714da8b958a73c93459ee09fdbb9415 ("Skip new module-specific
parameters in user-params.")
I found no documented or obvious reason for this behaviour.
