I see that ifupdown 0.6.4-4.10 has made it into sarge. That makes it
much more important that we get bug #266479 fixed in the sarge/sid
version as well as in the experimental version. (ifupdown 0.6.4-4.8 did
not have this bug; it was introduced in 0.6.4-4.9 and not fixed in
0.6.4-4.10.)
Quite some time ago I prepared 0.6.4-4.11 which has the necessary
changes ported over from the exp version of the package. I have sent a
number of requests out that this package be uploaded to unstable but no
one has done it; therefore I am writing debian-release.
The fixed package is available at:
http://www.aglu.demon.nl/ifupdown
I attach the diff between -4.10 and -4.11 so that you can see that the
changes are limited to those required to fix #266479.
