Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal

I have ppp iface stanzas in /e/n/i, and ifup-ing any of them results in ppp
interfaces named ppp%d, not what i called them in /e/n/i. This is Not Good,
as I'd like to use these interface names for packet filtering. I cannot use
ppp0, ppp1, and so on, since they will be the other way around if set up in
a different order.

If the "up" lines at least had a chance to know which ppp%d was just set up
in their stanza, one could do ip link set ppp%d name $IFACE...
