Title:
  default gateway route not installed for bond interfaces through reboot

Status in vlan package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in vlan package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Systems using vlans, especially those using vlans on top of bond
  interfaces, in addition to default or other routes on the vlans, may
  find their vlan routes are not present at boot.

  The attached debdiff patches fix the vlan package's /etc/network/if-
  pre-up.d/vlan script.  Currently, the script will bring up a vlan's
  raw device if needed; but the problem is if the vlan's ifup processing
  happens before the raw device's ifup processing, the raw device may be
  taken down and back up (especially for bonds), and when the raw device
  is taken down, the vlan is as well, and thus loses all its routing
  configuration.  Instead of only bringing the raw device up using ip
  link up, the patch changes the vlan script to do a full ifup on the
  raw device, so it will remain up after the vlan is configured.

  [Test Case]

  Set up a system using two interfaces configured into a bond interface,
  with a vlan on top of that bond.  Add a default route and/or specific
  routes to the vlan interface.  Then edit the system as described in
  comment 8, and reboot.  The vlan's routes will not be present in the
  system.

  [Regression Potential]

  Any modifications to ifupdown or the scripts it uses may cause wider
  problems with network configuration.  Specifically, this could cause
  problems when using vlan interfaces, as it forces every vlan's raw
  device interface to be fully ifup'ed before the vlan interface can
  finish its ifup.

  [Other Info]

  original description below:

  
  Expectation:  After reboot, route for default gateway specified on bonded interface is installed according to "gateway x.x.x.x"  (where x.x.x.x is a valid IPv4 address) specified in /etc/network/interfaces or files sourced per /etc/network/interfaces

  Actual Result: After reboot, route is not installed. Interface does
  work otherwise (I can ping the gateway on that subnet, for instance).
  'ifdown -a' followed by  'ifup -a' (run with proper permission... so
  sudo) brings the gateway back until next reboot.

  Package:  I'm not familiar enough to be certain what is causing this,
  but I was seeing this in beta2 of 16.04 as well.
