Title:
  Manual interfaces do not come up

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
