Fine.

Also fine.

As net.agent has it

   exec ifup --allow=hotplug $INTERFACE

Coupled with ifup(8)

   --allow=CLASS
	      Only allow interfaces listed in an allow-CLASS line in
              /etc/network/interfaces to be acted upon.

net.agent sees 'allow-hotplug eth0' in /e/n/i and does 'ifup eth0'.

This is an incorrect interpretation?
