Hi,

in a few situations, automatic network rule generation is undesireable
or contraproductive. For example, some virtualizers generate a new
random MAC on each boot of the virtual machine, which will break
networking if one doesn't remember to delete the generated network
rule before shutting down.

Please consider adding an option to disable automatic network rule
generation from a dpkg-conffile. If there is a possibility to do this
with an _additional_ rule, please document this in README.Debian.gz,
as the current wording "Users can add their own rules there or at any
other place before 70" does not lead the user into the correct
direction if she is not an udev expert. There should be an example in
the README.

Greetings
Marc
