About the problem mentioned here :
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/03/msg00918.html
I wrote my own patch for an option (-N/--use-ifname) that will make use of IF-MIB::ifName instead of IF-MIB::ifDescr as default.
That way, users who need either can just tune it accordingly to their needs.
