I posted here before contacting Digium.  They have been helpful.

Here is what I've found :

An old Etch dmesg shows this:

  eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0x1cc00, 00:13:d4:f5:e3:e6, IRQ 10.
  eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 41e1.
  eth1394: eth0: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)
  eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1

Current (Lenny) dmesg:

  [    8.257495] eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0x1cc00, 00:13:d4:f5:e3:e6, IRQ 10.
  [    8.258221] eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 
05e1 Link 41e1.
  [   39.188147] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1

And a diff between Etch & Lenny /etc/network/interfaces:

  9,10c9,10
  < allow-hotplug eth1
  < iface eth1 inet static
  ---
  > allow-hotplug eth0
  > iface eth0 inet static

So even though the PHY is eth0 on both, it winds up as eth1 on Etch,
(because of the Firewire?), but eth0 on Lenny.

I have to admit, I never saw that one coming.
