Daniel exposed some of his ideas for the next ifupdown inside a lenghty e-mail a while back. We disagreed on specific points. It's been a while, so I don't remember the specifics. I don't think that anything has moved since then. > Either way, I think a unilateral `Before=networking.service` is wrong, with > your observation that "none of the interfaces that dhcpcd would delegate an > IPv6 prefix to would be up yet" right on the money. Desipite this, dhcpcd is capable of waiting for interfaces to be up before it delegates a prefix, so After or Before both work, which is why I agreed to change it now, even though whatever changes Daniel has in mind for the next ifupdown haven't materialized yet. Anyhow, I suggest purging bin:dhcpcd and only keeping bin:dhcpcd-base. Keeping bin:dhcpcd really doesn't make sense if you use ifupdown, since it results in two instances of dhcpcd trying to control the interfaces: one launched by the systemd unit and one by any instance of the dhcp method in /etc/network/interface.
