[Bug 876829] Re: Oneiric's ifupdown breaks ip aliases

[Stéphane Graber]

As a follow up to this bug, I've also filed the following bug in the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656270

I guess it's still worth backporting the current fix even though not
complete and SRU the potential fix for the ifdown part when it appears
in Debian and Precise.
