I guess we (pkg-systemd-maintainer) and you, guus, should discuss at
some point, how we move forward regarding the ifupdown integration for
allow-hotplug and systemd in general.

/lib/udev/rules.d/80-networking.rules
/lib/udev/net.agent
/lib/systemd/system/ifup@.service

Those file don't really belong into udev/systemd but should be shipped
by ifupdown proper and before the Jessie release I had already talked to
andrewsh, that we want proper systemd support, not just a sysv init script.

Maybe the service files shipped by Ubuntu would be a starting point.

In any case, welcome as maintainer of ifupdown and hopefully we can work
together on this.

Cheers,
Michael
