*I* do not need help (using sid over years, there were lot of much
more ugly bugs in that time ;) ) and i added the line by myself.
I was curious, why the newer version is worse than the older.
Probably you are right blaming ppp. Considering when the problem occured
first, it was when (after a upgrade) the first time the message
"ppp_on_boot is depricated" at boot was visible...
prior to that time my /etc/network/interfaces never had a pre-up line.
At least, a hint for example in README.Debian should be given for the
pre-up...
