Hmmm....you got me looking, and I could not find anything at all. Even
more interesting:

$ dpkg -S /etc/network
ifupdown, wireless-tools, netbase: /etc/network
$ dpkg -S /etc/network/if-up.d/
dpkg: /etc/network/if-up.d/ not found.
$

So I can't even tell where it is coming from. I looked in the
ifupdown, wireless-tools and netbase /usr/doc files and did not see
anything. Very curious.....perhaps a bug report...ah!

I switched to Debian 18 months ago, after 6 years of Slackware and 1
year of SLS (anyone remember that?), and boy, I'm impressed ;-)
