Looks like a user report of this bug. Interesting that it seems to be
new since d-i rc1.

Subject: Debian etch, udev and net interface renaming errors

   Hi,
     
   When I had Debian etch RC1 which came with 2.6.17 kernel and older version
   of udev I had no network interfaces renaming errors. I installed fresh
   etch with the latest kernel and udev yesterday (kernet 2.6.18-3, udev
   0.103-1) and right after that I started to notice interface renaming
   errors.
    
   My system:
    
   1x ISA PNP 3Com net card
   2x almost indentical Realtek RTL-8139 PCI net cards
   1x 3Com 3c905 PCI card.
    
   My z25_persistent-net.rules file:
   # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
   # program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
   #
   # You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
   # MAC addresses must be written in lowercase.

   # Realtek card
   SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:50:22:81:d8:fb",
   NAME="eth3"

   #3Com card
   SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:60:97:20:5e:dd",
   NAME="eth1"

   #Realtek card
   SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:e0:4c:ac:9a:75",
   NAME="eth2"

   When system starts I can see that all interfaces were named correctly, but
   during boot time I can see few interface renaming errors:

   udevd-event[599]: rename_netif: error changing net interface name
   eth0_rename to eth1: No such device

   udevd-event[600]: rename_netif: error changing net interface name
   eth1_rename to eth2: No such device

   So my question would be - how can I eliminate these errors? As I saw in
   logs kernel assigns eth0 and eth1 names to realtek cards at boot time.
   They both use the same module. And I'm trying to rename them to eth2 and
   eth3. Thanks in advance.
