Go ahead with the rewrite, but try to coordinate with the other people
working on improving ifupdown. It's a pity that ifupdown's original
maintainer is not among the people working on the package. He might be
helpful with the numerous NMUs, but he doesn't surrender his baby to
people who might care more than him. That attitude in a _very_ central
part of the system is saddening.
