Public bug reported:
I am concerned about shipping ifupdown2 package in Ubuntu, with
declaration that it can provide ifupdown.
It is not a direct replaced of ifupdown in Ubuntu, as features present
in Ubuntu's ifupdown are not implemented in ifupdown2 package.
* allow-hotplug / auto / udev-rules for hotplug are not present
* does not use dhclient -1 option
* does not ship resolved integration
Installing ifupdown2 thus will break system expectations, reintroduce
previously fixed bugs, potentially leave people without networking if
they are currently using ifupdown.
Imho ifupdown2 package should be removed from the archive, or for at
least Provides ifupdown should be dropped, until it gains bug fixes and
features to be a viable ifupdown provider on Ubuntu.
