Why don't you want to touch it? This is the file meant to be touched for
network configuration.

Well, not the intended way, I'd say.
You can do:
ifup -i /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp eth0
ifup -i /etc/network/interfaces.static1 eth0
Alternatively you can name the interfaces, something like (typed by
heart):
iface static inet static
address 10.2.16.6
netmask 255.255.255.252
broadcast 10.2.16.7
gateway 10.2.16.5
iface dhcp inet dhcp
and then: ifup eth0=static or ifup eth0=dhcp
Then again there are packages like 'guessnet' that select an appropriate
interface configuration suitable for the network you are in.
