[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#498931: network-manager: Managed Interfaces?

[oz]

Subject: network-manager: Managed Interfaces?
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

as an example in README.Debian implies, interfaces with the 
keyword "allow-hotplug" are also managed by network-manager. 
To avoid confusion please mention it there, e.g.:

"Only devices that are *not* listed in /etc/network/interfaces or 
which have been configured "auto" or "allow-hotplug" and "dhcp" 
(with no other options) are managed by NM."

regards
