Downgrading to normal since this bug doesn't fit the definition of
critical:
“Makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or
causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where
you install the package.”

I see. Locking interfaces indeed prevents a VLAN interface from calling ifup on
its parent interface. It's actually with good reason; while it may have
worked on your bridge interface, it's not guaranteed to work correctly,
and it will break in situations where interface are created on demand
(like with tun/tap interfaces).
That said, it's of course necessary for the parent interface to be up
before you can bring up a VLAN interface. So I'll probably change
ifupdown to do that for you. That way, you won't need pre-up ifup
statements anymore.
