link local gateway and ifup/interfaces

[Ronan KERYELL <Ronan.Keryell@enst-bretagne.fr>]

I wonder wether there is not an issue with gateway on link local addresses.

In my /etc/network/interfaces I have for example:
auto eth7
iface eth7 inet6 static
	address 2001:688:1f9c:9771::1
	netmask 64
	gateway fe80::290:6900:02c3:145d

when I do for exemple an ifup eth7 I get:
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

in the same way if I add the gateway with my hands:
route -A inet6 add default gw fe80::290:6900:02c3:145d
results in 
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
but
route -A inet6 add default gw fe80::290:6900:02c3:145d dev eth7
works.

So, it looks to me that ifup just forgets to give the interface name to
the route command...
