Bug Description

Currently `fwbuilder` doesn't seem to support virtual interfaces (e.g. one created by stanza `iface eth0:1 inet dhcp` and assigning it an address with `sudo ifconfig eth0:1 hw ether 00:22:22:ff:ff:ff && sudo dhclient eth0:1` (e.g. in `post-up`)) on a remote firewall. After the `fwbuilder` installation routine has been run remotely, the previously set up interface is gone and the installation script fails (example log attached).
