Here's the interfaces file that works for me now. It's based on what
the installer creates when I tell it not to use DHCP during the
initial network discovery phase of the install.
debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

Here's the interfaces file as I received it from the debian-installer.
debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces.ORIG
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

And here's the skinny on the network-manager package.

Description: network management framework daemon
NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection
available at all times. It is intended only
for the desktop use-case, and is not intended for usage on servers.
The point of NetworkManager is to make
networking configuration and setup as painless and automatic as
possible. If using DHCP, NetworkManager i
_intended_ to replace default routes, obtain IP addresses from a
DHCP server, and change nameservers
whenever it sees fit.
This package provides the userspace daemons.

Hope it helps!

PS: This machine is dedicated to testing Debian and the debian-
installer. It has no other purpose. So feel free to ask me to try
anything (non-destructive) on it.
