Debian netinstall image - network interfaces file - eth0 not auto?

I just performed a fresh of Debian on BBB installation using git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git

I notice that the /etc/network/interfaces file does not declare eth0 as auto by default. This means that restarting the networking service does not re-enable eth0. Is this intentional, and if so why?

Just curious.

Dave.

Currently the Netinstall script does not modify
/etc/network/interfaces in any way.

So that default setting is just the way the upstream Debian Developers
set it in the debian-installer for all the architectures.

Thanks for your confirmation Robert. That's what I had suspected.
