So, basically you want to clone the MAC address of one device to another,
right? I've read about that option which is mostly included in some
neutral routers (wan routers for adsl and cable).
Check if that helps:

Not sure if that will also work with "pppoe" links :-?
BTW, I think network scripts are placed under "/etc/network/if-up.d/*" or
"/etc/network/pre-up.d/*".
