If that is the only use-case for this change (and I can't come up with a
better argument for this change either), I'd prefer if we use a
dedicated return code for this case.

This way, ifupdown doesn't need to change its behaviour and hooks which
need to be able to initiate such a rollback can do that explicitly.

So from my pov it would be preferable if this change in ifupdown was
reverted and support for such a special return code was added.
