on 12.04 this annoyance still exists - debian package has updated
/lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules with virtualbox-

http://packages.qa.debian.org/u/udev.html
# These rules generate rules to keep network interface names unchanged
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
