I have the older style /etc/network/interfaces file going back several 
years on this machine I’m using now, and on my backup. Both run Debian 
Unstable and undergo upgrades about once a month. I’ve never had to 
“resurrect” that file from an upgrade; once or twice NetworkManager does 
come back (tied to some dependency on the GUI desktop), but I quickly 
remove that and all is well.
