I removed it because of this documentation from the Debian Reference Manual:
=====================
"Here is how to use the ifplugd package for the internal Ethernet port,
e.g. eth0.
1. Remove stanza in "/etc/network/interfaces": "auto eth0" or "allow-hotplug eth0".
2. Keep stanza in "/etc/network/interfaces": "iface eth0 inet ?" and "mapping ?".
3. Install the ifplugd package.
4. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ifplugd".
5. Put eth0 as the "static interfaces to be watched by ifplugd".
===================
I did now put the 'auto eth0:0' back and did reboot the system. This
time eth0:0 came up.

Johann
