The MAC addresses got swapped.   Or rather, I suppose, the deignation 
eth0 and eth1 got swapped. 

I seem to remember somethign like that happened to me ten or fifteen 
years ago.  Long enough ago that I forgot that this was a thing that 
might happen.

That time I swapped the ethernet cables.

But I wold like to be able to run wheezy very occasionally -- there's an 
application I have that suffered the end-of-days in wheezy -- so I'd 
like to find another solution.

I suppose I'll have to find a way to define new device names for the 
physical ports and use those in all my configurations.

Finding all explicit references to eth0 and eth1 in /etc is probably the 
esy part.

I'm not sure how to time interfaces to physical ports.  Some black magic 
incolcing udev? or vdev? or any of Devuan's udev replacements?
