There are already more advanced migration scripts for your inspiration:

 target/linux/brcm47xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/03_network_migration
 target/linux/lantiq/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/02_migrate_xdsl_iface
 target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/03_network-switchX-migration  
 target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/03_network-vlan-migration
 target/linux/mvebu/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/03_wireless
