Bug Description
Please backport ifupdown2 1.0~git20170314-1 (universe) from artful:
- zesty
- Xenial
Reason for the backport:
=======
Hi,
I'm the maintainer of ifupdown2, I would like to backport ifupdown2 latest to Zesty and Xenial.
The backport to Xenial would be a priority for me.

It only has access to the 2015 release of ifupdown2. Since that we had several major releases containing exciting new features like:
- support for configuring VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)
- support for B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol configuration
- support for more netlink attributes
- new option for ifquery: --with-defaults to include default attributes
- bridge: disabling ipv6 on bridge if any VXLAN port
- vrf awareness in dhcp addon module
- sbin: start-networking: support hotplug class from init script
- support for classical numerical bond modes
- extend ifquery support for mstpctl addons
- each addon may perform semantic and syntax checks by implementing a custom method
- addons may provide a list of ifupdown scripts to ignore
- config: changing default value of addon_scripts_
- add environment variables passed to user scripts
- better support for non-english systems
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s artful -d zesty ifupdown2
