That's the same version I've got. And actually my change doesn't fix the
problem. It allows networking.sh to control lo but still doesn't bring it up
on boot as $devices is filtered to only affect eth* devices anyway. Removing
the '| grep ^eth' fixes that but something tells me I'm hacking the wrong
bit here.

Still my system is working so I'll not worry about it if it's not happening
to anyone else and hope the next update cures it.
