Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: important

The ifupdown sysv init script calls "/etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean start"
on stop().

This is a very bad idea, as it makes debugging the boot process
unnecessary hard.
Besides, ifupdown-clean is a regular sysv init script which is already
run during startup, so I see no need that it should be run directly from
within ifupdown.

Ideally we should kick ifupdown-clean completely and move the state file
to /var/run, where it is cleaned up automatically.
