Bug Description

In the changelog we read

    ifupdown (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
      * Accept duplicate options in /etc/network/interfaces, join them using
        a newline as a delimiter.

but in fact when an option "foo" occurs multiple times only the argument of the last instance is forwarded to scripts in the IF_FOO environment variable.
