Package: macchanger
Version: 1.7.0-5.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

ifupdown.sh logs to /var/log/macchanger.log simply by redirecting the
output of macchanger and few echo commands. This means no timestamps
are written to the log, making it difficult to debug problems.

Please consider adding timestamping, or perhaps using logger(1) to
write to syslog/systemd journal instead of separate log file.

Also, I am not sure if it useful to log the fact that loopback was
ignored every time ifupdown.sh was run. Also, the default
configuration floods the log with usage messages since --all does not
work (bug #780165).
