While the indentation is ignored by ifupdown indeed, it carries
invaluable meaning to human beings.
In this particular case, the meaning is:
Both "dns-nameserver" stanzas are applied to enp4s0 interface only, not
that other one, and even not the one you want it to apply to.
Also, one should promote neatness in configuration files. Otherwise
first you put tiny amounts of badly-formatted configuration stanzas,
next you're going Slackware by configure/make/make install and *finally*
you're trying to parse HTML with regular expressions bringing doom and
demise to unsuspecting humankind.
