Bug#308894: add debconf questions for naming network interfaces

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

It would be really cool if during an install you could be prompted to
name the various network interfaces for use with nameif. Maybe this
question would only occur if you had more than one interface or were in
expert mode.

"You appear to have more than one network interface. Would you like to
  change their default names to something more meaningful to help you
  differentiate them?" yes/no
"Select the interface to name" interfaces listed with MAC address,
  driver name, and lspci data
"Enter a new name for the interface" textfield

and for extra credit maybe even a screen that helps you determine which
  is which based on link state (and you can plug/unplug to determine).
