I cannot reproduce this here. Moreover, I cannot see *how* this could
happen.
/etc/inittab is marked %config(noreplace) in both the old and new packages.
In the rpm handling code, this should *never* end up with: old file -> rpmsave,
no new file.

You have a wired ethernet that is configured to be eth0, and your wireless
module was loaded first, so it was moved out of the way.
