For some years now (long before systemd) we have been advised that
restarting the 'networking' init.d script, even using the
Debian-recommended 'invoke-rc.d', may not bring up all interfaces
correctly, and the only safe way to restart everything was to... well,
restart everything, individually, manually. The 'deprecated' word was
used in anger.
I haven't yet seen any advice superseding this.
