I have recently discovered the packager 'etckeeper': https://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper/
etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that revison control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with revision control.

I have always set up networking in a text file - very explicitly. I thought that something Gnome-y had wormed its way in there and "helped".
However, I have a partial solution - I ran an "ifup eth0", and I have a network again. What I wonder now is why isn't that happening when I boot up?
That is odd. udev is correct, network/interfaces is OK. Perhaps it's time to look over the logs, or poke through /etc/rc?.d/ and /etc/init.d to see if anything has gone astray. Again, my experience of Network Manager, whatever its foibles, has at least stayed out of the way of whatever I had set up in network/interfaces.

This is also what you get when systems have uptimes reaching hundreds of days, as opposed to needing to reboot every hour or two.
