Public bug reported:
The old /etc/init.d/networking script deconfigured all the interfaces
defined in /etc/network/interfaces. By running `/etc/init.d/networking
restart`, one could make sure that all the old addresses and routes were
removed. The replacementscript for upstart doesn't do anything to
deconfigure an interface. So if you restart networking, a second default
route can be added. Which isn't what you'd expect.
Furthermore, the exitcode always seems to be '0', eventhough ifup
presents errors.
