[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#755202: NetworkManager creates broken eth0 connection while booting

[Tobias Hansen]

Control: severity -1 serious

I'm also having this problem and setting AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0
didn't help in my case. I also have this eth0:avahi entry in ifconfig.
Raising severity since we really don't want to have this bug in a release.

Best,
Tobias
