That's right, it's indeed installed (comes by default in the package set
we are using). I'll remove it!
For this special host it turned out that the 70-persistent-net.rules
file specifying those strange names was transferred into the initrd,
so the devices were renamed in the initrd already, and thus, the names
the kernel was returning were eth_s2_x.
Thanks for your help!
