Comment 23 for bug 876829

Above bug has been mostly fixed in ifupdown upstream except for ifdown eth0 bringing down eth0:0 without calling the down scripts on eth0:0.
This behaviour though isn't a regression so I won't wait for a fix for that part and will just upload the fix to Precise when it's in Ng.

I made an updated test package in my PPA and satisfied with the result, uploaded it to oneiric-proposed, expecting it to be published in a few days.
