I have set the -q flag in the default configuration. -q means 'Don't
call the script for network shutdown on deamon quit (default: off)'. So,
it should not down the interface when it stops. Strange is, that you do
seem to have that option set, according to the debconf information
below. So it should not happen. Did you change the settings?

Greetings,
