Currently the script does not cope with that, SFAICT. In ifupdown I dealt with the problem by creating an "ifupdown-clean" script which gets run on shutdown by [06]:S36ifupdown, _and_ early on bootup as S:S18ifupdown-clean. I suggest that this also be done in the hotplug package. Additionally, on installation ifupdown points /etc/network/run to /dev/shm/network/ if possible. In that case /etc/network/run is empty on boot so active cleaning is not required. Implementing that required adding code to the ifupdown initscript and to the postinst in order to create /dev/shm/network/ when necessary. It is probably too late to implement that in hotplug for sarge.
