Count. about testing:
It is interesting that there is some other bug - or implications of same bug - which can be triaged like this:

1. Open network-admin, you have manually configured IP address
2. Unblock, auth. stuff
3. Uncheck Wired Interface checkbox
4. It reappears!
5. /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 line is gone
6. Uncheck checkbox again
7. It stays clean!
8. /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 line is still gone (as intended)
9. Check checkbox for Wired Interface
10. It stays checked as intended, and auto eth0 reappears in /etc/network/interfaces, however now it has at least 5 empty lines between interface configuration and auto eth0 (cosmetic bug, but strange anyway).

It is not dangerous as this bug, but something very very fishy happens there and this feels like can be triggered from something else.

Also notice that this behavior is for both - standard and patched debs, so patch still must go in, at least to fix default behaviour. This could be easily separated bug.
