debian/patches/debian-add-ip.patch adds a gateway entry to every
static(?) stanza in the interfaces file.
This caused weird issues on containers with multiple IP addresses being
defined (e.g. an internal one and an external one).
What happened was that the interface being used for outgoing connections
(the route) got picked up at random (and then got cached for some time).
I do not have the history for debugging this anymore though (because of
HISTFILE=/dev/null, another bug), but it was easily reproducible by
clearing the routing cache and then picking and displaying a route:
ip route flush cache ; ip route get 8.8.8.8
Looking at the "src" value, this appeared to be random (but has been
kept until clearing the cache, or/and some timeout).

This can cause major problems when using e.g. MySQL authentication and
only accepting logins from local addressed (which ich common practice).
