As stated in many different places, bridge-utils has long been deprecated and 
ought to be replaced with built-in support for the "bridge" command in iproute2 
instead. 

The syntax I would propose for interfaces:

iface br0 inet METHOD
        address (IP address, if METHOD other than dhcp)
        hwaddress (default: random, or specify MAC address)
        bridge ("all" or space-separated list, may include /en* wildcards)

This would also bring the syntax for bridges in line with what ifupdown already 
uses (bridge-utils deviates from this for a number of options).

ifupdown already Depends on iproute2, so this should be fairly straightforward.
