Thanks for the cogent summary, Alexander.

Questions:
- Is a fix available? (Can you post it to the bug?)
- Under what circumstances will a user have an /etc/network/interfaces with no 
'auto' lines like this, that they want NM to manage?  Will a user ever have 
such a config as a result of Ubuntu upgrades, or does this only happen if a 
user has manually edited /etc/network/interfaces?

Design-wise, I'm not sure why NM should be managing any interfaces from
/e/n/i that don't have either "auto" or "allow-hotplug" set.  Why is the
example you pointed to one that NM should *not* set in unmanaged mode?

[regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces 
get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before)
