Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5-13
Severity: normal

bridge-utils can do almost any brctl command with some nice directives in
/etc/network/interfaces ...  except configure hairpin mode on ports.

>From the looks of /lib/bridge-utils/ifupdown.sh, this seems like it
shouldn't be too hard to implement, something like this has the feel of
being close?

if [ "$IF_BRIDGE_HAIRPIN_PORTS" ]; then
  bridge_parse_ports $IF_BRIDGE_HAIRPIN_PORTS | while read i ; do
    for port in $i ; do
      brctl hairpin $IFACE $port on
    done
  done
fi

I also notice that the hairpin command to brctl is missing from the man pages.
