[one-users] ubuntu 14.04 as image - no network on first boot

Hi,
Just stumbled on a curious case today: Using the new context packages under
Ubuntu 14.04 killed my loopback NIC since it was left it without an IP (so
127.0.0.1 was not set). I changed the script to call '/sbin/ifquery -X lo
-la' to leave the loopback device as is.
Furthermore, under Ubuntu 12.04 ifquery has different console options. No
idea if they changed it recently, but for the same functionality under
12.04 one must call '/sbin/ifquery -e lo --list'. Using the 14.04 call from
above throws an error.
Greetings
Wilma
