This is the recommended mechanism for upgrades, see:

Described already in the Release Notes, see:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#console-change

This is not expected, device renumbering could happen (see
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#device-reorder).
Did you have the proper rules defined in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or did they change?

Maybe this needs to be submitted as a separate bug report to the kernel
maintainers.

Do you have a full log of the upgrade (as described in [1]) this could be
helpful to review it.
