Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5-9
Severity: minor

I'm seeing these messages when doing ifup on bridge device between two
VLAN devices:
WARNING:  Could not open /proc/net/vlan/config.  Maybe you need to load the 
8021q module, or maybe you are not using PROCFS??
Set name-type for VLAN subsystem. Should be visible in /proc/net/vlan/config
WARNING:  Could not open /proc/net/vlan/config.  Maybe you need to load the 
8021q module, or maybe you are not using PROCFS??
Added VLAN with VID == 1 to IF -:eth0:-

Added VLAN with VID == 2 to IF -:eth0:-

Waiting for br0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 32 seconds).

I also get the following messages when bringing the device down:
WARNING:  Could not open /proc/net/vlan/config.  Maybe you need to load the 
8021q module, or maybe you are not using PROCFS??
Removed VLAN -:eth0.1:-

Removed VLAN -:eth0.2:-

There isn't a need to load a 802.1Q module, the support is built into
this kernel.  ifupdown itself deals with this setup just fine, it is only
if I try using bridge-utils to handle the bridging that these messages
show up.  The good news is everything appears to work, so I'll rate this
as minor.  I'm not 100% certain this is due to bridge-utils, but
bridge-utils looks like the obvious candidate right now.
