Do you think that there should be a zeroconf configuration method for
the inet and inet6 address families (in the sense of the term 'method'
used in interfaces(5))? That is, would it make sense to have a stanza
like this in /etc/network/interfaces?:

I am beginning to think that zeroconf should, in the ifupdown world,

The ifup hook script is currently called '/etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf-up'.
There is no need for an '-up' suffix because the file is in the if-up.d

scripts after themselves,
circumstances in which the right thing is not being done.
As it isn't a resolvconf problem I probably won't have more to say about
