Bug Description

Caspers initrd script init-bottom/23networking has a piece which causes a couple of, possibly non-existant interfaces to be added to /etc/network/interfaces if NetworkManager is not installed, regardless of whether they actually exist or not.

Writing non-existant interfaces to that file, on the other hand, delays the boot through the failsafe.conf upstart job for about 2 minutes, which lives unless shut down due to notice by the static-network-up event.

if [ ! -x /root/usr/sbin/NetworkManager ]; then
    for i in eth0 eth1 eth2 ath0 wlan0; do
        grep -q "iface $i" $IFFILE && continue
        cat >> "$IFFILE" <<EOF
auto $i
iface $i inet dhcp

EOF
    done
fi

---------------
casper (1.327) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Tim Lunn ]
  * add gnome-shell favorites tweak to 25adduser
  * Add 16gdmnopasswd script, removes gdm password dialog for live user.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Fix casper when running on some RAID systems. (LP: #1047316, LP: #965735)
  * Apply patch by Tyler Gates to try and better handle dm devices, should help
    with the above change too. (LP: #865529)
  * Use /sys/class/net/ instead of hardcoded eth* devices.
    (LP: #905828, LP: #962546)
  * Allow overriding username/userfullname/hostname on the boot command line
    as is mentioned in the manpage but was never implemented.
    Note that when using persistence, those used for the first boot will be
    remembered through /etc/casper.conf (LP: #907482)
  * Reset oem-config/enable to false every boot. (LP: #838680)
  * Add Breaks/Replaces to ubiquity-casper to properly upgrade when both
    casper and ubiquity-casper are installed. (LP: #1046300)
  * Apply patch by cleary to avoid hang in 41apt_cdrom when .disk/info doesn't
    exist. (LP: #909919)
  * Eject by block device instead of mountpoint, this should avoid ejecting
    the cdrom on USB installations. (LP: #869238)
  * Add 'check' target to debian/rules based on ubiquity's (LP: #570243)
