I didn't realize in the beginning, that "allow-ovs ..." replaces "auto ..." and with this and possibly a typo I couldn't get out of those error messages. When a changed line doesn't help I changed it back, but with more than one error, this will not reach a solution.
Now after I've got a working environment, I tried again and got it working a bit simpler and without "auto ..." as you say. May you put a fully fledged example into your README.debian or just an "interfaces.Example" which should work, just by copying it to the right place and changeing IPs? Maybe this helps other guys like me, with working knowledge on networks, but being totally unsettled what to change in the config files, because of not knowing, what happens in the background, because of OpenvSwitch. The distribution I mostly work with is Gentoo and most config-files are totally different from those here in Debian.
