None of this has anything to do with the topic at hand, which is how you wish Debian to assign the interface names to the interfaces that it discovers at boot time. Apparently you don't want to use ANY of the various schemes that have been in use for the last decade or so, and yet you can't actually describe what you DO want to happen. Hostnames, IP addresses, DNS nameserver addresses, domain names, etc. are all separate from this.
