[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#508383: network-manager: Force NM to manage an interface with an option in /etc/network/interfaces

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: normal
README.Debian explains all the cases where NM will not manage an
interface. The principle of this decision is sane but it lacks
a way to delegate an interface to NM anyway.
I have moved my eth0 into a bridge and I would like NM to handle my brigde
but there's no way for me to do that because creating a bridge requires
setting an option in /etc/network/interfaces:
> allow-hotplug eth0
> iface eth0 inet manual
>
> auto br0
> iface br0 inet dhcp
> bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1
> bridge_maxwait 0
Would it be possible to have an option "network_manager yes" that would force
NM to manage the interface ?
Cheers,
