It is easier to modify hotplug's net.agent script so that it avoids
calling ifdown if the interface is a PPP one. An even cleaner solution
would be to implement #303383; then PPP interfaces would be neither
upped nor downed by hotplug by default (as with all other kinds of
interfaces) and the administrator would enable hotplug control of PPP
interfaces by adding
allow-hotplug ppp0
to /etc/network/interfaces.
