Public bug reported:
When a device is not marked as 'auto' or allow-hotplug or allow-auto,
but is 'inet manual', the interface is brought up, and it will have a
link-local address. the ifup scripts are not run, and ifquery --state
does not show it as up (both of which are correct), but the interfaces
should not have been brought up.
% cat /etc/network/interfaces

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual

% ifconfig
