Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ifenslave-2.6

Debian has a new version to be merged

ifenslave-2.6 (1.1.0-13) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Apply patch from Nicolas de Pesloüan:
 .
     - Manage primary change not only in if-pre-up.d/ifenslave but also
       in if-post-down.d/ifenslave.
     - Move $VERBOSITY test (in if-post-down.d/ifenslave) outside of the
       slave loop, because VERBOSITY won't change inside the loop.
     - After ifdown of a slave, ensure slave is still enslaved before
       forcing it to be free. (This remove a warning in syslog).
     - Fix a typo in a comment in if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.
     - Fix a variable name error in an error message in
       if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.
     - Use /sys/class/net/<slavename>/master/bonding/primary instead of
       /sys/class/net/<mastername>/bonding/primary to get the name of
       current primary, for "bond-give-a-chance" (in if-up.d/ifenslave).
       This remove the mandatory "bond-master" requirement.
     - Enhance README.Debian.

 ifenslave-2.6  (1.1.0-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Replace pre-up and post-down scripts with new ones provided by Nicolas de
     Pesloüan:
 
     - Add a VERBOSE mode, with set -x, for debugging purpose.
     - Suppress any reference to /sbin/ifenslave. Write to
       /sys/class/net/*/bonding/slaves instead. /sbin/ifenslave is now useless
       from the ifupdown point of view.
     - modprobe for $IFACE before modprobe bonding, to give a chance to alias
       and alias'options in /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/* .
     - Handle some new options (bond-enslave, bond-enslave-timeout,
       bond-enslave-interval, bond-active-slave) and a new usage of
       bond-primary, all targeted at slave interfaces. Using those new options,
       one is able to postpone enslavement of a slave at the time the slave
       become available (due to hotplug or for administrative reasons). ifup
       will wait for the bonding interface to be ready and then enslave IFACE
       to it.
     - Add a new option bond-slaves, as an alias (and possibly a replacement)
       for option slaves. Every options related to bonding should start with
       bond-.
     - Add a comment about the "none" value of (bond-)slaves option.
     - Add a comment about a possible way to do more generic option management.
     - Remove any current master-slave relationship (with master if the
       interface is a slave and with all the currently enslaved slaves if the
       interface is a master), instead of relying on the configuration in
       /etc/network/interfaces.
