Hotplug itself was modified to use the "allow" mechanism.
hotplug (0.0.20040329-25) unstable; urgency=low
...
* NET_AGENT_POLICY is deprecated. use ifupdown "allow" mechanism instead.
closes: Bug#303383
So, it should suffice if netcfg is modified to write /etc/network/interfaces
that employ the new "allow" mechanism, in the manner you suggested.
