Yes, /eth0/=en0 will match kernel name eth0, both up and down. On up, it
will configure eth0 with the iface en0 stanza. On down, it deconfigures
it based on the stanza it was brought up with.
This also allows something like:
auto /eth*/=eth
iface eth inet dhcp
When doing ifup -a, this will bring up all eth* interfaces with DHCP.
But you can also ifup/ifdown each individual interface that matches eth*
by its kernel name.

In 0.8.21 I added an undocumented feature:
iface en0 ...
auto
Is equivalent to:
auto en0
iface en0 ...
