Have a look at /etc/net script/network.conf. further down this file you will find eth_start/eth_stop functions. They hook functions to hook dhcp in for initial configuration (and where you can hook tunnel daemons etc). Also configure eth0_IPADDR. Dpkg --purge ifupdown as it can cause some issues with unit script circular dependencies at times. Please let me know how you go.
