Thanks.
You can use the up, down, etc. parameters in the interfaces configuration file. Read the interfaces(5) man page. if-down.d, if-pre-up.d, if-post-down.d, and if-up.d directories are also available under /etc/network/. I don't know where they are explicitly documented, but run-parts(8) should give you an idea of how to use them.
