Currently, the netbase package only 'Recommends' ifupdown:

    Package: netbase

    Depends: lsb-base (>= 3.0-6)
    Recommends: ifupdown
    Conflicts: inetutils-inetd (< 2:1.4.3+20060719-3), openbsd-inetd (<

    Description: Basic TCP/IP networking system
     This package provides the necessary infrastructure for basic TCP/IP
     based networking.

However, removing the ifupdown package results in a broken networking
init script due to the following line:

   [ -x /sbin/ifup ] || exit 0

Since it is perfectly acceptable to configure APT to only install
'Depends', the ifupdown dependency should be removed, or it should be
moved to the Depends section.

Thanks,
Sol
