[Bug 790604] Re: after installation, nm reports eth0 as a not managed network device

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

It appears to be an issue specific to the alternate CD. First guess says
this is something done differently in netcfg, but I haven't looked at
all yet.

As another option, we could start using the ifblacklist script in NM to
change /etc/network/interfaces when NM is installed (and revert when
it's removed).

** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => debian-installer
(Ubuntu)
