Fine them. "The newer way to configure multiple addresses on one
interface is to use the up and down mechanism to call ip" written in the
Debian wiki sounded quite definitive to me.

It is acceptable as a temporary workaround and should be clearly
advertised as such. I would not have liked it as a final new way to
assign multiple addresses to a single interface. I do not like mixing
ifupdown options (address, netmask, gateway...) and up/down commands to
configure the same things either, this is not consistent. If you are
going that way, why not use the "manual" method and do all the
configuration with up/down options ?
