I don't think this is urgent enough to justify a new release, but I am
willing to take it into the next version. Is there a compatibility
layer that makes transition easier with the symlink in place? IIRC the
net-profiles name dates back to the time when netcfg was part of
initscripts. In fact, I was quite satisfied with the new, simpler
naming scheme ;-P.
