A few days back we had had discussion about this subject on IRC in regards of
AWS images and I think we reached conclusion to use **net.ifnames=0** to sort
it out (at least for now).

So probably the same should be done for GCP images and in regards of
discrepancies between default Debian image and Cloud image we just need to
document it and go with it as without fixing this issue IMO images are partly
broken.
