No, because it's quite a complicated script. On the other hand, if you took out all the conditionals things would be much simpler: anyone who can't figure out a simple list of commands to run really isn't going to have much chance of using the system anyway. I say this, as I know several novice users who found the debian standard /etc/init.d/network impenetrable, but had no problem with mine which has all the addresses hardcoded.
