Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7-0.1
Severity: important

Diskless boot is broken for me at the moment. initscripts has moved
nfsmount.sh to /etc/network/if-up.d for good reasons but that means my
nfs mount of /home doesn't happen (meaning I can't log on etc.). I have
eth0 not marked as auto in /etc/network/interfaces because if I do when
"ifup -a" runs it locks the system up hard. I think it's deconfiguring
eth0 (which is where the nfs-mounted root disk is) before it attempts to
bring it up. I can work around this by adding a fantasy interface eth1
to /e/n/interfaces and leaving eth0 as not-auto.

I would like ifup to notice that eth0 is already up and skip whatever it
does, and then run /e/n/if-up.d/*.
