The ppp authors have other ideas. See

Re: shouldn't most ip-up jobs be backgrounded?
ppp-bugs@db.samba.org: maybe you guys could put some recommendations
about this in the docs.
debian-policy@lists.debian.org: maybe even a debian policy is needed
about backgrounding in /etc/ppp/ip-*.d/, shall one package dictate
other jobs are to wait for it... to what extent, etc.
