If the device name "eth0" is changed to "eth5", would the simple solution to update shorewall be to search all shorewall config files for eth0 and replace with eth5, restart shorewall and expect it to work exactly as before?

Yes. You can also anticipate these sorts of changes and do what I do in my params file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep _IF ShorewallConfigs/gateway/params
INT_IF=br0
DMZ_IF=eth3
EXT_IF=eth0
WIFI_IF=eth1
TEST_IF=eth4
TEST1_IF=eth5

Then in my other config files, I have '$INT_IF' rather than 'br0', etc.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> grep _IF ShorewallConfigs/gateway/interfaces
loc     $INT_IF         detect        dhcp,logmartians=1,routeback,bridge
dmz     $DMZ_IF         detect        logmartians=1
wifi    $WIFI_IF        detect        dhcp,maclist,mss=1400
net     ${EXT_IF}       detect        dhcp,logmartians=1,blacklist
loc     $TEST_IF        detect        optional
loc     $TEST1_IF       detect        optional
