11a062af1b fix #5429: network: override device names: include Type=ether
Mention that the systemd link file should contain `Type=ether` in most
setup, to make sure it only applies to Ethernet devices and does not
ever apply to e.g. bridges or bonds which inherit the MAC address of
the Ethernet device. Mention that some setups may require other
options.

Reported in the forum [0] and in #5429 [1].

905fff4902 firmware: adapt to proxmox packaged fwupd
We ship our own fwupd package, since it needs to handle the
differently named efi_os_dir (proxmox vs debian).
Due to our experience with `udisks2` causing issues on hypervisors,
our package downgraded the Recommends udisks2, to a Suggests.
The downside is, that users need to explicitly set their ESP
mountpoint in the config file.

Additionally a minor stylistic rephrasing (is an option vs. could be
an option).

Tested this today, while giving our fwupd package a spin.
