No, /etc/network/devnames.gz and /etc/network/devnames are used for different purposes; the former is an input file with a static mapping of module names to human-readable names, while the latter is an output file later used by netcfg. (Some human-readable names come from other sources than the static mapping file.) However, I agree that the naming is very confusing. I've renamed devnames.gz to devnames-static.gz to try to reduce the confusion here.
