This gives you eth0 at boot if it's plugged in but it doesn't wait if it's not, and if you plug it in later it comes right up. Oddly it doesn't even wait very long if it's plugged in at start-up and there is no dhcp being offered. (all of this is assuming "iface eth0 inet dhcp" is in there too; I imagine a static route comes up right away regardless.)
