If you want to find out, try http://codesearch.debian.net/ Good candidates from a (very incomplete and too) quick look at it: busybox_1.20.0-7.dsc → static struct interfaces_file_t *read_interfaces(const char *filename) resolvconf_1.67.dsc → debian/config udev_175-7.dsc → extra/net.agent wireless-tools_30~pre9-8.dsc ifrename.c:const char DEBIAN_CONFIG_FILE[] = "/etc/network/interfaces"; ifrename.c:static inline void ifrename.c:probe_debian(int skfd) wpa_1.0-3.dsc → debian/ifupdown/functions.sh There are probably more of them, but finding them all is left as an exercise for the reader.
