This is quite anoying and did not happen on jessie. Is there an easy way to get the old behaviour (i.e. background dhcp request) back on ascii?

Both of those result in "ifup eth0" being run as part of the boot
sequence, and a wait for that to succeed or give up. Neither scheme pays
attention to the link state; it merely checks whether the interface is
up or not, and if not, it brings it up bmo ifup.

I believe that during some period in the past, the control scripts
involved (nowadays /etc/init.d/networking or /lib/udev/net.agent) did
pay attention to link state, and avoided the ifup command when the link
wasn't there, which then avoided it waiting for dhcp to give up. But I
might remember it wrong; in any case, progress has made it that today we
wait, or bypass it by using some other networking solution.
