Adds configuration for the netprivacy Calamares module, which provides MAC address spoofing and IPv6 privacy options during installation.

Changes:

  • Added netprivacy to settings.conf.dist sequence after locale
  • Created netprivacy.conf with privacy-focused defaults (random MAC, IPv6 privacy extensions)

Requires upstream Calamares: https://codeberg.org/Calamares/calamares/pulls/2479

Not sure we'll use the netprivacy calamares module that as per:
Kicksecure/security-misc#184 (comment)

But depending on how it is presented to the user, it actually might be suitable.

Prerequisites:

  • Merged upstream by Calamares.
  • Kicksecure porting to the next major version of Debian that comes with a calamares version with this module.
