I dug a bit more, so 'force interface' will create the 
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for the installer initrd.
However, it does not get copied to the installed Debian. For the moment, 
I workaround this by copying the file in overlay/ so it get installed.
With that, I manage to get the network in the installed Debian. I guess 
this is not the right way. What would be the right way?
Cheers,
