Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.26-2
Severity: grave

When updating ifplugd package, the host's networking is brought down for
a long time, particularly if they are many other packages being
updated/installed/removed simultaneously.

That is very inconvenient and it is not unlikely that it may break other
installation scripts from other packages that expect the network to be
properly initialized when run (e.g. samba, clamav-freshclam, and many
program that includes DNS hostnames in their configuration).

ifplugd should somehow be restarted separately if that is possible at
all.
