Well, if you intend to let NetworkManager handle all networking, then perhaps this bug is invalid. But not everyone uses NetworkManager - I can't - and for such users this is a problem. So I feel this is a valid bug.

I guess my point is, why should /etc/network/interfaces be tied to NetworkManager exclusively? It isn't a NetworkManager file.

Perhaps the issue is with NetworkManager being installed by default, and dependent on ubuntu-desktop, so it can't be uninstalled without concern. If this is Ubuntu's policy, then NetworkManager should either (1) work perfectly, or (2) not make other networking things fail. Currently it does neither.
