Hello Guus,

OK. The Ubuntu change documents that as 

  The above change also means that manual interfaces will now be
  brought up and down (as many users expected until now)

which sounds plausible to me. However, I don't really know the
background of that change, so if you think it's inappropriate in
Debian then I'll keep it as an Ubuntu delta.

Thanks,

Martin
