I wanted all eth's to be static even if card is changed (a box in a remote location). I edited /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules. In whitelist I added eth*. This stopped udev from assigning rules for eth. However, what you face should be bug. Better to take it in debian mailing list.
