The least ugly thing we came up with was:
$ cat /lib/udev/rules.d/60-${our_package}.rules
# Avoid udev persistent names (see
# /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules )
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="$kernel"
You can make that rule more specific to only disable it for specific
cards. It works because of:
$ grep -B1 -w NAME /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules | head
-n2
# ignore the interface if a name has already been set
NAME=="?*", GOTO="persistent_net_generator_end"
