Abstain from bringing eth0 up on boot? (cf. laptop-net)

[kai.grossjohann@uni-duisburg.de (Kai Großjohann)]

I installed laptop-net, and it appears that this will bring up an
interface when I plug in a cable.  So I'm thinking that it's not
necessary to bring up eth0 on boot -- laptop-net will take care of
that.

So I commented out the "auto eth0" statement in
/etc/network/interfaces, but it seems that eth0 is _still_ brought up
on boot.

What's the story?
