I'd go easy on the "definitely". That configuration appeared to work fine on my wheezy box for both /etc/init.d/networking reload and restart. It even worked partially when it was rebooted; viz. port 53 and even port 80 (though extremely sluggishly). But sshd over port 22 did not. It was as if sshd had not come up, but that couldn't be since when I got in by KVM over IP, simply restarting networking (using old style interfaces) solved the problem. Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to try to replicate the problem. But a word of caution to anyone else who might come across this may be in order.
