Thanks Paul Liu for some updating.

If eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, it means root (via scripts in
/etc/init.d) is going to start dhclient for eth0, and NetworkManager
will not touch the interface. For server, this is a very important
feature because we would like to have network connection before any user
login.

So, two questions are raised.

1. why installer (or other application) update /etc/network/interfaces with 
Desktop version?
2. why booting scripts do not bring up dhclient?

Keeping digging.
