** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: network-manager
  
  When running in managed=true mode, ifupdown will export configurations
  of a mapping entry in /etc/network/interfaces without locking it to the
  mapping device origin.
+ 
+ If a device exists with a mapping stanza then the mapping script may
+ select any of iface stanza "devices". The script is pretty much in
+ control of the naming of the device, so a $DEV-.* regex is wrong to
+ assume. A priori not even the link to a physical device is possible
+ without running the script, as the same mapping may be applicable to
+ multiple devices.
+ 
+ Probably the right thing to do is to hide all iface/mapping
+ "connections" that do not correspond to HAL-known devices. Then treat a
+ mapping like a DHCP connection, where a script is called on activation
+ (as in ifupdown) to select the iface stanza "connection" for
+ configuration.
