As Pascal noted, the word before �dhcp" should be "inet".
That�s interesting! I�m quite sure I did not put that there (i.e remove the
�i� from �inet�. It�s purely as it came from the installer.
And, given that the �i� is missing in both versions of the interfaces file, why
does �auto� work and �allow-hotplug� not work?
I had to change �allow-hotplug� to �auto� to get it to come up on reboot:
root@macpro:~# diff /etc/network/interfaces.ORIG /etc/network/interfaces
11c11
< allow-hotplug enP1p3s15f0
---
auto enP1p3s15f0
Looks good.
If there�s some place that�s mistakenly expecting a name like �eth0�, where
might it be located?
A locally created script (especially one that does firewall stuff),
or a third party package.
Pretty sure I don�t have any of those installed. (Indeed, *quite* sure, since
this is a test machine and it�s running an absolutely minimal �fresh from the
box� debian installation � no add-ons at all.)

Have you tried running the system install disc in recovery mode, it will
setup the internet or at lest it will try.
Below is my Stretch interfaces config.
-------------------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eno1
iface eno1 inet dhcp
# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface eno1 inet6 auto
-----------------------------------------
Good Luck,
