Hello,
Due to the thread starting at [1] I looked at /etc/init.d/networking and
noticed that 'restart' and 'force-reload' are doing the same thing.
Maybe it would make sense for 'force-reload' to actually use '--force'
to ifup/ifdown? The attached patch does just that.

Regards,
Andrei

No, because force-reload has totally different semantics and it does not
mean what you think it means.
