You'll need to be a lot more specific on the interface definition.
Do they have to be binaries? Do they have to take the same flags,
e.g. --force and --all?

What about /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/network/if-*.d/*?
Especially the hooks are integral to a lot of other packages that
depend on ifupdown. I'd say that's part of any Debian
"network-config-tool" interface.
