Reading https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man5/interfaces.5.html , it appears "slave" is no native ifupdown config stanza.
I suppose it is implemented by a third party package?Which brings me back to my concern, that this is really a losing battle, since the interfaces file format is not specified in a way, which would make it easy to gather all managed interfaces.
We already special case "bridge-ports" [1], and maybe we could extend that to also consider "slaves". But I really don't like that we don't have a proper API here. Maybe you could convince the ifupdown maintainer to provide such an API, e.g. via "ifquery", where we could query all interfaces that are managed by ifupdown.
