Yes. And Debian would have had a elegant way to use ip (from the
iproute package) if ifupdown's maintainer would finally apply the
patch from Bug #88948.
I have a package ready that allows ifupdown to do much more magic.
That package is in use for one and a half years at the site I work
for, but it needs the patch (better said, the current version of that
patch) from Bug #88948 applied.
The patch is trivial, it doesn't break backwards compatibility. It has
been impossible to get a statement from the ifupdown maintainer since
the bug has been filed.
