Notice that immediately before the block you quite there is another block:

        #
        # For now, we do not use the /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d
        # stuff yet. Not sure if it is useful for NIS or how
        # it should work, exactly.
        #
        return 0

which ensures that the check for network interfaces is never actually performed. This is true in the upstream Debian package and in version 3.16-1ubuntu3 which appears to be the latest in Ubuntu. I can't see anything which suggests that it has ever been enabled.
