My experience, admittedly from a few releases ago, is that ifupdown is
always installed but that the installer doesn't populate it's config
files with the found network interfaces, only the loopback interface.

I also have a more vague memory that you could put config into
/etc/network/interfaces then in some circumstance NetworkManager would
not try and manage that interface, and in others it would take over.
(Perhaps selected by allow hotplug option in the ifupdown config?)
