Please do not implement the ip-up script exactly like that,
since it would suddenly start doing stuff at every net connection on
upgrade. Instead, have the script read a file in /etc/ppp (details to
be determined on debian-policy) and look for /^distributed-net.*UP=YES/
or exit silently.
The default should be OFF, since nothing is put in the file at
all. If the sysadmin wants it, they can edit in the configuration
file.
Most sites have cron jobs set up already.
