You don't want to remove netbase, you just want to remove the /etc/network/interfaces file. The rest of netbase is very important to have. Dig on the list and you'll find patches to split that file out but they didn't get into 1.3. Unless you're working against master and willing to help get those patches tested and merged, the easy solution is to use a .bbappend and ship an empty interfaces file (meta-guacamayo does this if you want prior art).
