I found this:

"All numbers supplied as parts in IPv4 dotted decimal notation may be decimal, 
octal, or hexadecimal, 
as specified in the ISO C standard (that is, a leading 0x or 0X implies 
hexadecimal; otherwise, a 
leading '0' implies octal; otherwise, the number is interpreted as decimal). 
Use of hexamedial and octal
numbers is not RFC-compliant and therefore its use is discouraged and may go 
away."
As a part of man page here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/ifconfig or 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xns/inet_addr.html

So, it explain this thing clearly. Lack of this information in debian man pages 
is the bug ;)
