Well, systemd as init is starting everything so that necessarily 
includes starting "the network", which in practice means starting 
whatever network management framework is in use[1].

The 'networking.service' service is part of ifupdown, Debian's default 
network management framework (Priority: important).

Network Manager is Priority: optional and typically installed as a 
Depends/Recommends of Desktop Environments.

[1] this is applicable even for systemd's own network management 
framework systemd-networkd, which is included in the 'systemd' Debian 
package, but not activated by default.

Kind regards,
Andrei
