The patch was working code at the moment it was submitted, it was just
refined since then. And there is a working version of ifupdown
available on the net at the place mentioned in the BTS. So I think
it's not fair to take the blame to Marc, as everything is there. (And
this patch really does not add much code to ifupdown, but makes it
much easier to deny other addition requests, so I think it should be
included.)
