It does many setup at startup. Among other things, in upstream packages, it replaces 2 udev rules: 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules and 75-persistent-net-generator.rules. The new rules does nothing, it just expects to skip the existing one.
I did not know that udev skipped (at least) persistent-net in virtual machines so I did not try without those replacement rules (how does it know it is a virtual machine?).
