While I probably think the severity is closer to wishlist than the original submitter thinks it is, I'm voting in favor of adding this functionality. ifrename and the like provide logical names for other interfaces; PPP interfaces should be able to have these too, and based on my limited knowledge of Debian network configuration, I see no good way to implement it outside of pppd itself.
I have not reviewed the patch submitted by the original submitter, but informationally, it appears that some other GNU/Linux distributions, such as SuSE, apply similar patches to their distributed forms of pppd. (I also see that the report has been sitting in the BTS for over a year with no response. I'm not sure what to make of this. If there's a reason to avoid doing this, I'd like to hear it.) ---> Drake Wilson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
