Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal
It appears that ifdown, when run during the shutdown of a Debian system,
disables any Wake-on-LAN settings which may have been set with ethtool
whilst the system was running. This then prevents the system from
being started up again remotely.
A (very unsatisfactory) workaround is to comment out the line
invoking "ifdown" in /etc/init.d/networking. A better fix would
surely be for ifdown to leave the NIC's WOL settings alone.

ifupdown itself never modifies wake-on-lan behavior. It could be that your
network card, or its driver, disables wake-on-lan when the interface is
brought down. There's not much ifupdown can do about that. If that's the
case, add the following to your interface stanza:
down ethtool -s $IFACE wol g
