Thanks for reporting back. Good to hear that this works now.
Will upload a fixed package soon.

Actually, no. I've added Debian specific patches to track the ifupdown
state in /run/network/ifstate and if eth0=eth0 is listed that,
network-manager should forcefully set the global online state to
connected, even if the device itself is marked as unmanaged.

What does your /run/network/ifstate contain and nm-tool say?
