Package: whereami
Version: 0.3.26
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The way whereami detects current location may depend on the interface
being brought up.  So two suggestions for
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/whereami:

-- Add something like "--hint $IFACE".
-- Add "[ "$IFACE" = lo ] && exit 0".  The whole idea of the local
interface is that it is local, and has nothing to do with the location
of the system.  If the user really wants some
whereami'ing on local this can be arranged in the interfaces file, but
most users will not want that.

Thanks,
Itay
