I have to admit that I never understood the point of the alias
interfaces.  I always did

auto eth0
        iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1
        up ip addr add 192.168.0.11/24 dev eth0
        up ip addr add 192.168.0.12/24 dev eth0

and it worked fine.
