I think I hit the bug #360155 with my /etc/network/interfaces
configuration such as:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 10.0.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.0.0.255
network 10.0.0.0
gateway 10.0.0.254
iface eth0:1 inet6 static
address 2001:7a8:b057::5
gateway 2001:7a8:b057::ffff
netmask 64
and many other aliases with IPv6 addresses that I can switch on or off
according my physical location.
All the IPv6 addresses are associated to the main
interfaces by ifup but unfortunately never removed by the respective
ifdown.

In bug #360155, a patch has been proposed more than a year ago. If it
works (I've not tested it), should it be possible to include it in the
mainstream?
It looks like it is related also to bugs bug #360155, #168776 and #395826.
Thank you,
