Same here, using kernel 2.6.29-1-686 from unstable.
Old entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules was

# PCI device 1039:0900 (sis900)
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", 
SYSFS{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", NAME="eth0"

which led, approximately due to the fact that the SYSFS entry is no more 
recognized correctly by udev 0.141-1 to creating a new rule for the same 
device

# PCI device 0x1039:0x0900 (sis900)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="00:0a:e6:d5:5f:99", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", 
NAME="eth1

and so the network interface was renamed from eth0 to eth1 (which had no 
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces), resulting in system starting up 
with no valid network interface at all after next reboot.

Isn't it possible to at least deploy a warning message to the user at udev 
update, containing a hint that he SHALL review 70-persistent-net.rules for 
entries containing deprecated values which may lead to non-working 
networking?
