I don't know about yours, but *my* /etc/init.d/networking is alive
and healthy! More to the point, it's so useful to me that I'd rewrite
it, should it fall off Debian.
Instead of scaring off people by some strange warning picked out of
the huge echo chamber of the Intertubesi [1], how about doing some
real research and explain to people what's up?
/etc/init.d/networking will bring your system to its default state
(like after a reboot). Thus, the interfaces marked with "auto" in
/etc/network/interfaces will be up, all others, down.
Anything you changed manually since boot (e.g. by issuing an
explicit "sudo ifup eth0", same for an ifdown) will be gone.
This could be, depending on circumstances, somewhat unexpected,
unwanted, or totally intended.
In my opinion, a warning is in order ("this might not be doing
what you think it does"), but deprecated seems exaggerated to me.
