Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5-9
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

On one particular host, bridge-utils insists upon fetching an IP via the wrong 
interface. It uses the MAC address of eth1 even though the connection to the 
outside world comes via eth0.

My /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge_ports all
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet manual

If there is a way to ensure that the brdige always connects to the outside 
world via eth0, I seem to have missed it.

Can you help?
