[Touch-packages] [Bug 1565083] Re: 16.04 beta2, cannot override udev network interface name in VM

OK, so I have spent quite some time typing this bug report but ultimately found the solution. I leave a comment in case other people face the same issue. After a lot of head scratching: You have to run "sudo update-initramfs -u" to regenerate the image! What a pity it's not in the docs!
