Using the 'link' family in the interfaces file conforms to the Debian
implementation:

http://sources.debian.net/src/ifupdown/0.7.47.1/link.defn

There were no comments so far on this patch.

My intention was to allow separating the link layer configuration from the IPv4 (inet) and IPv6 (inet6) configuration blocks in the interfaces file in a way that is compatible with the Debian implementation. Do you think this makes sense?

Ideally, the ifupdown applet would have built-in support for configuring bonding, bridges, VLANs etc., but for the time being, I plan to use hook scripts for these purposes.
