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.

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
