Package: release-notes
Severity: important

The 5.1.5 section of the document[1] contains the following text:
[1]https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#migrate-interface-names

"(If the udevadm output includes an “onboard” name, that takes priority;
MAC-based names are normally treated as a fallback, but may be needed
for USB network hardware.)"

This text should be changed to something like this:

udevadm may list several potential names for a single interface. In this
case the final name is assigned according to the following list of
decreasing priorities:
 * ID_NET_NAME_FROM_DATABASE
 * ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD
 * ID_NET_NAME_SLOT
 * ID_NET_NAME_PATH
 * ID_NET_NAME_MAC

(MAC-based names are normally used only for USB network hardware.)

It is important to make the right choice when migrating interface names
on a remote system!
