I find your post only today may 26. I read the warnings of synaptic about wicd.
And now that I
have learned things about systemd, insserv and them requiring to start
networking (not network)
as soon as the driver's modules are loaded, long before reading
/etc/network/interfaces (BTW
mine includes only lo) I won't change anything more: It works! I start named
in /etc/rc.local, not
bind9 which definitely won't work, and my wifi access point in gnome-nettool.
And I don't halt
my server. Not intellectually satisfying, but practical!

PS: my wifi problem came from firmware-iwlwifi being loaded much too late (7s
after boot-start,
when r8169 and e1000e for my NICs are loaded before 0.8s) probably because the
version in
early Jessie was broken, and replaced after installation (see
https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi).
