The Debian images use wicd to start the network interfaces instead of the /etc/network/interfaces file to avoid a possible delay on boot when the BBB is not connected to a wired network. Unfortunately, at least in my experience, wicd is not set to enable the wired ethernet interface by default. I had to go into the wicd preferences page and check "Always show wired interface", and then manually click the connect button on the wicd main screen. I only had to do this manually once, and ever since it has automatically re-connected the wired ethernet interface. The eth0 lines in my /etc/network/interfaces file are still commented out.
