Our site configuration stores auto.master in NFS for ease of updating. (Yes it should perhaps move to LDAP, but that is beyond my control.) Karmic autofs starts correctly about half of the time, depending on whether the NFS mount finishes before autofs gets around to reading its config. (I'm not sure if this is the exact same bug.) We clearly want autofs to start when an interface comes up. (In fact, our particular configuration requires that a _particular_ interface be up, but that may be out of scope of this bug.)
