We have tons of those at work.
Why would those break? Just having a manually-deployed /etc/network/interfaces file that uses names like "eth0" should not break upgrades, because as mentioned in the part you quoted, the existing already-generated rules should still trigger and keep renaming the same card to eth0. So you need to assume something more to have an example of a problem case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
