Ah, that's good. "manual" should indeed keep NM from touching it, but
current ifupdown should also not tear down "manual" interfaces on
shutdown. So in theory, with 0.8.8ubuntu1 your shutdown should be good
now. Confirming this would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Title:
  Systemd runs ifdown on shutdown even when it shouldn't

Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ltsp package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ifupdown package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The unit /lib/systemd/system/ifup@.service is Debian and Ubuntu specific, it's not part of upstream systemd.
  On shutdown, it unconditionally ifdowns all interfaces:
    ExecStop=/sbin/ifdown %I

  This is a regression from previous init systems (sysvinit and upstart)
  which cared so that when a network file system was in use, they didn't
  ifdown the interfaces.

  Specifically, both /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/init/networking contain these functions:
    check_network_file_systems()
    check_network_swaps()
  which output the message "not deconfiguring network interfaces: network file systems still mounted" and exit.

  So, please call the same functions in the ExecStop= part of
  ifup@.service.
