I've never tried doing a single sided board with Eagle.  I guess your method
uses the second layer to have Eagle tell you where the jumpers need to be.
However, I see a problem when using thru hole parts.  Eagle will assume the
holes are plated and connect to both layers.  That will not be valid in
cases when the pins under a component on the top side are inaccessible.
Somehow you need Eagle to think that thru hole pads only connect to the
bottom layer, but I don't know how to do that short of defining new packages
in the libraries.
