The network configuration routine isn't implemented in src:dropbear but in
initramfs-tools-core's 
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions:configure_networking().
All dropbear-initramfs does is to call that function in its hook script.

AFAICT initramfs-tools=0.140ubuntu14 adds vlan (and IPv6) support but I
don't know if these patches are viable for Debian.
