Title:
  When the dropbear remote unlock init hook is enabled
  NEED_PERSISTENT_NET should be set to "yes"

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Users who use the dropbear remote unlock init hook to remotely unlock
  a cryptroot setup should have their udev network interface rules
  persisted in the initramfs. That is, when a system has the dropbear
  hook enabled and it has a cryptroot setup then "NEED_PERSISTENT_NET"
  should be set to "yes" to ensure that network interfaces are not
  renamed unexpectedly.

  If this does not make sense to do by default then I would like to
  suggest that /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.remote.gz is changed to
  inform users of NEED_PERSISTENT_NET.
