Bug Description
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.

we do not have time to commit to integrating this package into Ubuntu, thus it should be removed & blocklisted until it is integrated with ubuntu properly.
