If one doesn't use Network manager, everything probably belongs
in /etc/network/interfaces, but I hate trying to debug somebody's network
problems when they start by breaking NM and then complain NM doesn't work.

I've never had a need to have a wired interface mentioned
in /etc/network/interfaces since NM became part of Ubuntu.  Sometimes,
complicated setups need something but it's best to start from a clean file.
