Comment 2 for bug 1197314

Hi. While all of the above is truth, some of it is clearly well documented (like the xe pif-reconfigure-ip), and isn't a problem in the package, but in upstream software, so there's nothing one can do about it at the distribution level.

As for doing things automatically for the network config, it would be not Debian policy compliant to do so, so I don't think it's possible to do it.

The only way I see to "fix" the above problem is documenting the issues.
