Security Moment:
Yes, that's BAD!  It's flapping and evidently he doesn't want it up.
It's better not to have both networks up, unless needed since that allows
access more easily for WEP cracking and then sidejacking.
<hack>  Someone could..well, I don't need to describe the bloody situation,
it's all there in any autopsy? </hack>

Debian uses the /etc/sysconfig tree rather than the rc.d.

*So the solution is simply configuring the rest of the networking configs:*

the ifcfg-eth0

  Setup the interface up configuration file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

  Copy the original settings to backup file and make the changes below.
Don't forget to restart networking after making the changes.

# cat /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=10.0.0.1
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no

You want onboot no and ipv6init no, as well as userctl per your use.

DEVICE=eth1
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.255
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=192.255.255.255
ONBOOT=no
NAME=eth1
