Thanks, I was cautious and did in addition to the above advices also
an 'update-initramfs -u' before the reboot and I got an apparently
working lo interface.

The interfaces file had

  auto lo

but there was no line as

  auto eth0

So I added that and after the next reboot I got also a working eth0.

Thank you very much!
