Systemd (or perhaps something else too), does that as well. You can
install systemd-sysv, purge ifupdown and upstart, and lo will be up.

Title:
Use essential "init" package to ensure that an init system is present
Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “init-system-helpers” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with ifupdown 0.7.48.1ubuntu4 and upstart
1.13.1-0ubuntu3 and currently it is possible to remove ifupdown and
upstart as they are not essential packages or any essential/manual
package does depend on them. Here is the output:
root at ubuntu:/# apt-get remove ifupdown
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
ifupdown upstart
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 895 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
As I know Ubuntu wants to change from upstart to systemd in the future so removing upstart may be fine but I'm wondering why ifupdown can be removed (wouldn't this remove the ability to create a network connection?).
