Yes, this is as expected. The upgrade procedure needs to remake the devices to deal with device nodeswhich have changed, as well as adding new ones. There's no easy way for it to know that you made a local customization which you want to be maintainer after the upgrade. Perhaps what you really want here is fbtab(5), or a local customization script which you can use to customize device permissions.
