OK, but anyway, keeping the allow-hotplug line and doing link
detection should be sufficient. Then, I don't see why systemd
tries to force eth0 up, because if there is no Ethernet cable,
one cannot expect eth0 to work anyway!
And I don't see why systemd tries to bring eth0 up for ifupdown users
because this is already done via LSB (/etc/init.d/networking, which
now does link detection).
I've reported a bug:
