Well, in your new `start from scratch' there won't be a DHCP server to read dhcpcd.conf. :-) You should be telling the server to just listen on eth0 rather than its default of all interfaces that are up and can broadcast. I don't see any reason why it would need to be told eth0's static address is 192.168.0.9 as it won't be handling a DHCPDISCOVER request for that interface as it's statically defined in /etc/network/interfaces.
