Hi,
Here's what happens on a freshly installed Squeeze system:
nfs:/etc/network# dpkg --status ifenslave-2.6
Package: ifenslave-2.6
Status: unknown ok not-installed
Priority: optional
Section: net
nfs:/etc/network# find -name ifenslave*
nfs:/etc/network# aptitude install ifenslave-2.6

nfs:/etc/network# find -name ifenslave*
./if-post-down.d/ifenslave
./if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new
./if-pre-up.d/ifenslave
As a result, if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new is what should really be
if-pre-up.d/ifenslave, if-pre-up.d/ifenslave is the bond-give-a-chance
instead. The postinst logic is broken, as /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave
is part of the package, thus on a clean install the stock version is
moved to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new if the version
check is true. This makes the package non-functional after installation,
thus the grave severity.
