Ah; this is definitely the wrong version of the file, it's more than a year
older than the necessary version.

This is the right version of the package, however.  Have you modified this
script locally?  Is there an /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart.dpkg-dist file?

Title:
  "Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" at boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10 32bit on Virtualbox and Win7 x64.
  I get a "Waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration" at boot, which causes the boot to be delayed by some minutes.
  It's not a duplicate of bug #881079

  Here's an extract of what Steve Langasek found to be "weird" in the
  kernel log (verbose mode) attached here:
