[Bug 1305271] [NEW] Manual interfaces do not come up

[Luke Pascoe]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS amd64

After upgrading to 0.7~beta2ubuntu11, "manual" interfaces won't come up.
Rolled back to 0.7~beta2ubuntu10 and they work.

Interface definition in /etc/network/interfaces (one of many):

# VLAN 3
auto reporter1
iface reporter1 inet manual
        up ip l s dev intpub up
        up vconfig add intpub 3
        up ip l s dev intpub.3 name reporter1
        up ip l s dev reporter1 up
        up ip a a xx.xx.xx.xx/29 dev reporter1
        up ip a a 2403:9800:xx:xx::1/64 dev reporter1
        down ip a del xx.xx.xx.xx/29 dev reporter1
        down ip l s dev reporter1 down
        down vconfig rem reporter1

Error when running ifup reprter1:

Device "reporter1" does not exist.
