This bug was fixed in the package ifupdown - 0.8.8ubuntu2

---------------
ifupdown (0.8.8ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * inet{,6}.defn: Don't down an interface when stopping. This breaks use
    cases like LTSP which create a "manual" interfaces stanza to prevent
    NetworkManager or other management software from touching the
    interface of the remote root file system. In the past we had the
    check_network_file_systems() check in /etc/init.d/networking that papered
    over this misbehaviour, but that is not being done any more in
    networking.service. (Closes: #809166, LP: #1492546)
