Package: vlan
Version: 1.9-1
Severity: normal

with a static inet6 entry in /etc/interfaces, the vlan ifupdown script try
and do a second vconfig because they think it is a second interface. I'm not
sure of the best way to work around this, but i'd be happy just to be able
to add a 'vlan-ignore' entry to make the vlan code ignore something that
looks like it should be processed.

I can submit a patch to do this if it is considered a good idea.

It wouldn't be sufficient to automatically ignore vlan code for inet6 as you
might be running in an ipv6 only network.

Ultimately I think the ifupdown scripts should be changed to not treat an
inet6 entry as a separate interface, but am not sure what the final solution
might look like.
