>From the manpage:
"""
       When  ifupdown  is  being  called with the --all option, before doing 
anything to interfaces, if calls all the hook scripts (pre-up or down) with 
IFACE set to
       "--all", LOGICAL set to the current value of --allow parameter (or 
"auto" if it's not set), ADDRFAM="meta" and METHOD="none".  After all the  
interfaces  have
       been brought up or taken down, the appropriate scripts (up or post-down) 
are executed.
"""

So when called with -a, it'll first call the hooks with IFACE="--all"
and then call them again for each interface.

** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
