Ah yes, I use udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules on Debian 
Wheezy*) to set the physical interfaces to peth<something> and then name my 
bridges eth<something>. Eg :
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x165b (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="b4:99:ba:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", 
KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="peth0"




I also use names rather than numbers (eg ethlan rather than eth2) as it makes 
it much easier keeping track of what's connected to where when there are 
multiple networks involved.


* Given that Debian have given in to having the system bastardised, I've no 
idea what it may or may not be called in Debian Jessie or what hoops you may 
have to jump through to keep "meaningful" device names.
