It's usually the upstream's decision what language to use for their
software.
It so happens that this particular upstream likes noweb and wrote it in
that language. I see no reason why we'd force upstream to change the way
they do things just because some people may find it confusing.
Note that ifupdown isn't an Ubuntu project, it's developed by Andrew
Shadura in Debian. Ubuntu has a few extra changes on top of it and
collaborates with Andrew on bugfixes and feature improvements.
** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu)
