Package: netcf
Version: 1:0.2.8-1ubuntu2

Due to the fact that Ubuntu turned away from ifupdown (which was fihgtinh
with NetworkManager/networkd anyway) I have come to realize an issue in
netcf.

It uses tools from ifupdown like for example
src/drv_debian.c:1053:    run1(ncf, ifup, nif->name);

But has no dependency to it.
So using the netcf API to change interfaces can end up failing fatally by
the tools not being around.

Now in Debian ifupdown is mostly around, but it is not flagged Essential,
so I thought it would be worth to ask for the dependency to be added.
