I grepped the source repositories of d-i packages and found 2 uses of interfaces.d: - netboot-assistant has an example command that creates "/etc/network/interfaces.d/static": https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netboot-assistant/-/blob/master/README.installbox#L62 - netcfg creates /etc/network/interfaces itself, with the wildcard that's being reported as a bug: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netcfg/-/blob/master/write_interface.c#L29 So netcfg would probably also have to be changed, whether you decide to go with *.conf or source-directory.

This warning is output by rkhunter. If you want to control this warning output, I think you need to control it with rkhunter. Best regards, Nobuhiro
