This would be what is done by the biosdevname package:
Description-en: apply BIOS-given names to network devices
biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel device name
as an argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be.
.
This is necessary on systems where the BIOS name for a given device
(e.g. the label on the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and
obviously to the kernel name (e.g. eth0).
.
This also works as a straight udev rule, which is provided.
.

It seems to me like this should really only be a cosmetic difference and not
adversely affect the installation, even in the case of preseeds. Is it possible
that eth0 is hardcoded somewhere in the preseed? Could you please attach your
preseed file, after making sure it doesn't contain sensitive information like
passwords?
Thanks!
