Whoops.  One problem with this is that it doesn't actually bring the
interface down.  I hadn't noticed before.  You might want to add one
more line, like so, and I think that will work properly:

         iface eth0 inet manual
               up [same as above]
               down kill $(< /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.pid)
               down ifconfig $IFACE down
