I installed 2.3.6 from unstable.

ip-up does not exit until run-parts exits.  2.3.6 won't start ip-down until
ip-up exits (or so the documentation says).

Try adding something like this at the top of ip-down:

while pidof run-parts
do
	sleep 1
done
sleep 1


Or, if you don't care if the ip-up stuff gets interrupted and you can be
sure that run-parts won't be running for any other reason,

killall run-parts
