Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.28-4
Severity: wishlist

Here is better integration idea for ifplugd to ifupdown and other
network scripts.

Currently, ifplugd uses -i option to specify interfaces to control.

Actually, debconf stores them for each occasion in /e/default/ifplugd
as:
INTERFACES=""
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=""

Since recent ifupdown started using "allow-[CLASS]", it may be a good idea to
support "allow-ifplugd-auto" stanza and "allow-ifplugd-hotplug" which
specify interfaces for each types.  (I think current debconf script
needs to be changed though)

Since these [CLASS] are not used by other programs, it means nothing to
others and I think no new code need to be written for ifupdown.  With
this entry, you only need to see /e/n/interfaces to know which
interfaces are controled by which program.
 * auto or allow-auto: boot script of ifupdown
 * allow-hotplug: hotplug script (probably run bu udev)
 * allow-ifplugd-auto: boot script of ifplugd 
 * allow-ifplugd-hotplug": hotplug script (probably run bu udev) 
                           which invoke ifplugd

I think similar idea can be deployed for waproamd too.  Then
configuration is much more clear.

Please note this idea has not been fully tested.
