Because /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01-ifupdown is owned by the
network-manager package.

It didn't immediately make sense to me that NM calls the ifupdown
scripts at all, since I thought that NM itself does all the work of
setting up the interfaces.  I saw a confusion of authority there, and it
is created by the network-manager package, so that seemed like a
reasonable place to start.

I am afraid I can't suggest any kind of fix.  I have CCed one of the
upstream NetworkManager maintainer.

Thanks!
