I would like to tell n-m to stay away from eth0 wrt IPv6.
The IPv6 configuration for this interface is done using
/sbin/ip in a script.
If I use the interfaces configuration as shown above,
then n-m doesn't set up eth0 for IPv4, either.
If I set "managed=true" and the same interfaces config
file, then n-m configures both IPv4 and IPv6.

The problem is that n-m either takes over or ignores the
whole eth0 interface without distinguishing between IPv4
and IPv6. I would like to restrict n-m to IPv4 for this
interface.
My suggestion is to introduce a "network_manager" method
for the "inet" and "inet6" address families in
/etc/network/interfaces, e.g.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet network_manager
iface eth0 inet6 manual
