Despite the warning, it still works (even in wheezy) :-?

What you may also need is doing both, restarting the networking service 
and "upping" the desired interface after editing the "/etc/network/
interfaces" file, i.e. and given the bonded interface is already off and 
networking service stopped):

ifup bond0 && /etc/init.d/networking restart

Should "restart" fails you can replace it with "/etc/init.d/networking 
stop && /etc/init.d/networking start"

(careful with the above command if you are running from a remote session)
