My /etc/network/interfaces has an auto line for each appropriate
interface:

    auto lo
    <lo device config>

    auto eth0
    <eth0 device config>


There's also a package, netenv, which is supposed to allow you to choose
a network configuration at boot time.  I've installed it but not yet
figured out how to configure it.  Seems like a good idea though....
