I'm afraid this report doesn't make any sense to me.  Currently, the
/etc/init/network-interface.conf job (which is part of the ifupdown package)
calls ifup *only* for 'auto' interfaces:

  exec ifup --allow auto $INTERFACE

It does *not* handle interfaces that are marked 'allow-hotplug', which I
know is an issue given the default /etc/network/interfaces as set up by the
installer, but that does not appear to be the issue you're reporting.  You
seem to be saying that the network is not started when using 'auto'.  Can
you please clarify?  Can you also attach the /etc/network/interfaces file
that you see problems with, and post the output of the command 'initctl list
| grep network-interface'?

Thanks,
