without looking at the package, I assume, you should modify
/etc/default/dhcp to only handle eth1. INTERFACES will be overridden there
(maybe with something like all or so). The "Defaults" above is only set in
case /etc/default/dhcp is deleted for some reason or can't be read.

You should revert that ugly hack. ;)
