(which is the default as setup by the d-i) The basic difference is the order in which services get loaded at boot time, and whether the services wait for something, or just go. An interface marked "auto" will be waited-for by services that are configured to wait for interfaces to be up. E.g. mounting NFS file systems, or starting an NFS server. An interface marked "allow-hotplug" is considered nonessential or transient, and the core OS services won't wait for it before starting.
