I know you're sorted but for reference....

Wheezy remembers the MAC address for NICs and which eth it's allocated
to.

Look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and you'll see sommat
like:

# PCI device 0x8086:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0 (e1000e)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="00:1a:6b:38:38:28", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", 
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

If you plug in a different NIC, the MAC will be different and udev will
allocate it to eth1 *even if eth0 no longer exists* because you've
remove the NIC.

Delete that file, reboot and the first NIC will be allocated to eth0.
