Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.5-4
Severity: normal
To avoid confusion and to simplify some firewall scripts, traffic monitoring,
etc it would be good to be able to assign a particular interface name for a
connection. So instead of having ppp0 and ppp1 randomly assigned to two
sessions I could have pppispa and pppispb or something similar.
It is possible to do everything you desire by changing the scripts, but it
would be easier and less confusing if an interface could be renamed.

This is a duplicate of at least two other bugs.
Short summary: if you have a patch, if it is not trivial you'd better
persuade the upstream maintainer to accept it first.
