Hello, same problems here after sarge->etch upgrade on machines with multiple (real) network interfaces.
The issue in question is not particularly related to aliased interfaces, it is a problem with the mountfs.sh script instead. Obviously this script from /etc/network/if-up.d is run immediately for each interface instance brought up, even when auto-configuring using ifup -a. So when booting with two (real) interfaces and having nfs & Co. bound to the secondary one the boot will fail since eth1 isn't up when mountnfs.sh is run for the first time. This is a quite annoying 'feature', since portmap & mount will take ages to timeout. Potential solution would be to run /etc/network/if-up.d/* scripts only after all interfaces were brought when requested with ifup -a. Workaround: remove /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs.sh and leave the mount part to the init scripts...
