Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-10.1
Severity: important

pppd does not support <ifname> option (interface renaming). It is vital
for distinguish pppoe and pptp interfaces when establishing rouing in
non-common way. For example, one has pptp and pppoe provider interfaces
and pptp/dun client interfaces and he wants to route part of clients to
the specific provider. Due to unknown interface name it is impossible
to use iptables-restore from file as well as to set up routing
in /etc/ppp/ip-up.
