I found a bug in the above. It worked fine with ARM64, but not with
AMD64. Apparently these network interfaces can use capitalized
letters too, so this version works:

echo /run/systemd/network/[0-9]*-netplan-*.link | sed 's/.*[0-9]*-netplan-\([a-zA-Z0-9]*\)\.link/\1/'

Also, I fixed the subject to match the content, but I did wonder why
the only Devuan images I could find were an old "chimaera" AMI and a
few unofficial builds using "runit". I'm stuck with Debian for now,
except my desktop which is Devuan. I may experiment with "runit"
someday.
