[Bug 985305] [NEW] [omap4] /etc/network/interfaces not created on a no-network installation

[Michael Casadevall]

Public bug reported:

/etc/network/interfaces is missing on an install where no ethernet
connection is available. This causes a 120 second delay on startup due
to ifupdown hanging waiting for network interfaces (even if the cable is
connected later). This also prevents ifupdown from properly managing lo,
although this appears to be initialized by a fallback somewhere else.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a non-network installation
2. cat /etc/network/interfaces

Expected Result:
Basic /etc/network/interfaces with auto lo only.
