First a parenthetical remark. According to interfaces(5) the "manual" keyword is used exclusively in the "method" field, as in `iface eth0 inet manual`. But in your example you use it at the beginning of a line. Perhaps you think that in that context "manual" means the opposite of "auto" (non-auto?) but so far as I can tell by reading the manual page and the source code it does not have any meaning in that context. If a logical interface is not declared as "auto" then it is non-auto and there is no way affirmatively to declare a logical interface as non-auto. If I am right, please see to it that the software you are using gets fixed so that it doesn't write out meaningless "manual ..." lines. If I am not right then please let me know. :)
