I have some trouble reproducing this. I installed systemd-sysv into a
minimal VM without NetworkManager, and
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg has

  # The primary network interface
  auth eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp

Indeed "ifquery -l --allow=hotplug" doesn't mention any interface, but
eth0 comes up just fine anyway. When I comment out above file, it does
not come up, so that file and ifup is definitively being used here.

But running "sudo ifup --verbose --allow=hotplug eth0" manually confirms
that the stanza is being ignored. So the most probable explanation is
that /etc/init.d/networking is being run during boot which takes care of
the "auto" stanzas? Why isn't that being run for you? Can you please
show "systemctl status networking"?

Title:
  ifup should specify '-allow=auto' not '-allow=hotplug'

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  /lib/systemd/system/ifup@.service specifies:

    ExecStart=/sbin/ifup --allow=hotplug %I

  This really needs to be:

    ExecStart=/sbin/ifup --allow=auto %I

  Since otherwise, for systems that don't use network-manager, the
  service will only bring up interfaces which have specified "allow-
  hotplug $if" in /etc/network/interfaces*.
