OK. Here is what I think is happening: In your /etc/network/interfaces file, where your primary network interface is defined, you have "allow-hotplug", because that's what the Debian installer puts there by default, because the Debian installer has been dumbed down for laptops. Since your interface is marked as "allow-hotplug", services that require a functional network will not wait for this interface to be ready. For a server or a workstation, you need to change "allow-hotplug" to "auto".
