I've just built ifupdown 0.6.4-2, and tested it with Anthony's interfaces.tst file, and it gives the following output: Configuring interface lo=lo (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d Configuring interface eth0=eth0 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig eth0 10.254.0.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.254.0.255 up route add default gw 10.254.0.254 eth0 run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d Configuring interface eth2=eth2 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig eth2 192.168.115.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d Configuring interface eth3=eth3 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig eth3 192.168.116.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d Configuring interface eth4=eth4 (inet) run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ifconfig eth4 192.168.117.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up run-parts /etc/network/if-up.d It looks OK to me, so I've uploaded it. I didn't do anything special (i.e. it's compiled with -O2).
