I had the following lines in my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
but it didn't do anything for me. Downgrading to upstart 0.6.3-10 solved the annoying grub issue (by running grub-common) but sometimes the scripts in /etc/rc2.d have run without the eth0 interface being brought up which was also incorrect. So I have tested the proposed version of ifupdown and it seems to me that it is working correctly. I made 4 test reboots and all of them were successful.
