Thank you for feedback!

Now I need to choose between `bond-slave` and `slave` stanza.

There are two pages in wiki, contradicting each other:

https://wiki.debian.org/Bonding#Configuration_-_Example_1

Says to to use `bond-slaves`

and

https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration

says to use 'slaves' directive.

It looks very confusing.
