Hi,
I worked around this by changing /etc/network/interfaces to:

______________________________________________________________
iface eth0 inet manual
        pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up
        up /sbin/dhclient -nw -4 -v -i -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -I -df /var/lib/dhclient6.eth0.leases eth0
        pre-down /sbin/dhclient -r -4 -v -i -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases -I -df /var/lib/dhclient6.eth0.leases eth0
        down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down
______________________________________________________________

and installing ifplugd and setting /etc/default/ifplugd to:

______________________________________________________________
INTERFACES="eth0"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=""
ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I"
SUSPEND_ACTION="stop"
______________________________________________________________

This way boot is fast and the network is setup in the background 
as soon as ifplugd detects the link beat.
Don't know how this will interact with wicd.

Ciao,
Tito
