/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch does work with /etc/network/interfaces.d source directive

[Dustin Lundquist]

When defining OVS bridge interfaces in external files in /etc/network/interfaces.d/ using the source directive, the network_interfaces() in /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch doesn't find these interface.

The init.d script (and the associated upstart configuration) certainly don't search for files in interfaces.d

Marking Triaged and setting priority to Low for the time being.

[James Page (james-page)]

Later releases switch to using:

ifquery --allow ovs --list

which does pickup any stanza's in interfaces.d.

Marking Fix Released.
