I expect our help desk will forward the relevant bug reports to me
(and actually they've probably done it already, so I'll have a look
in the next few days).

It's been obsolete for a while, which is why it's not installed by
default in Debian Stretch (nor in Tails 3.0) by default anymore.
Use `ip' instead, which replaced ifconfig.

If you really want to deal with MAC spoofing yourself (at our own
risks), then you can use the macchanger command.

The screen locker is not supported in Tails yet, so I'm not surprised
it may not work correctly. But there is work in progress on this front:

Indeed, Tails is amnesic.
