I am testing latest ovs code on debian, using the following 
/etc/network/interfaces

-------------------
allow-vmbr0 eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
        ovs_type OVSPort
        ovs_bridge vmbr0

auto vmbr0
allow-ovs vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  192.168.2.8
        netmask  255.255.240.0
        gateway  192.168.2.1
        ovs_type OVSBridge
        ovs_ports eth1

------------------

That works, but it does not work when I boot the host. Simply because 
ovs-vswitchd
is started much too late in runlevel 2.

So what is the reasoning behind that? 

I also tested with modified values in /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch using 
something like:

# X-Start-Before:    networking
# X-Stop-After:      networking
# Default-Start:     S
# Default-Stop:      0 6

That solves the problem, but does that have some bad side effects? 
(For example syslog is not active at that time.)
