I expect that in most routed configurations people use their own network
script rather than using the default. I'm not sure the current
network-route script even handles configuration of vif0.0/veth0 devices.
It's only really an issue if you run network services for other VMs in
domain0, but its better to have the default of using vif0.0/veth0 incase
people do.

I was in two minds about the interface renaming, but it proved to be the
only way we could get a script working reliably on a wide range of
distros, and once you know what's happening its not too confusing.

Ian
