ifup -a broken?

[Dave Sherohman <esper@sherohman.org>]

I'm trying to convert a system that's been running since pre-ifup days to use
/etc/network/interfaces and it's behaving oddly.  ifupdown is version 0.6.4-3
from testing.

As the log below shows, all three of the interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces behave properly when addressed by name, but using -a
to bring all interfaces up (or down) doesn't seem to recognize that any
interfaces are configured.

Is there just something that I missed in my local configuration or should it
be filed as a bug?
