Hi Mike.

AFAIK this is the case since ages (forced to be ethX instead of a 
predictable interface name via kernel command line param 'net.ifnames=0' 
setting in grub.conf since Stretch).

It works for me too (virtual network, no real world deployment 
available), if all entries except the loopback ones are commented.

IIRC, the NetworkManager configuration isn't touched at all by 
d-e-config, i.e. it's the one shipped w/ package 'network-manager':

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false
