Package: netbase Version: 4.34 Severity: important
The default config for networking on new installs now seems to be 'allow-hotplug'. The reasons for this have been discussed before I beleive. However, as this is the default, I feel it's important that it behaves as one might expect from 'auto' (the previous default) in that when you restart networking, any network configuratnio for that interface is updated. ie, If I change my IP address in /etc/network/interfaces, and do a /etc/init.d/networking restart, these changes should take effect. I am aware that I could reconfigure the IP myself, however I prefer to test the itnerfaces file to give me confidence it will work as expeted after a reboot.
