Title:
  ACPI platform nics names change after install

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in debian-installer source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  systemd in xenial-proposed has support for predictable network
  interfaces names for ACPI-described platform devices. However, the
  latest d-i in xenial-proposed was built with the previous systemd
  upload. This has a nasty side-effect that the NICs will have one name
  during install (e.g. eth1) but, after reboot, will have a different
  name (e.g. enahisic1). Further, if you used one of these NICs as your
  install interface, the network will fail to come up post-install.
