The dpkg.log suggests that the issue is unrelated to the apt-get upgrade. Indeed you need to look back to the last two reboots since the interface naming only ever affects the system when being booted. > race condition between which of the likely programs ?

Since the mac address changed udev is behaving as intended and changes the interface name as well. The real issue it seems is as to why the mac addresses change. Please report the version of your kernel and firmware. If possible check if either was upgraded since the last two reboots.
