Most modems used with PPPoE do not have management interfaces. There is
often not much use for an IP adress.

The manual directive does not bring the interface up. And there should
be no reason to polute the config with it anyways.
Any other options? Programs should be error tolerant. ppp isn't since
you have deliberately removed the interface-up patch. And your arguments
sound like "it is okay for df to segfault if /dev is not mounted with
udev since everybody has to use udev" or similar things, the same
radical kind of argumentation not very close to reality.
