Marc Haber, Michael Weber and I have prepared a new version (0.6.4-4.5) of ifupdown. Because this is intended to go into sarge it includes only the safest changes, most of them fixing minor bugs in documentation. Bugs addressed are: 86895 88948 112012 122422 138403 138694 141634 154517 156789 156789 157698 160918 173101 174764 175679 178226 178630 180000 186316 200786 203636 204468 Please see the .changes file (in the directory given below) for details.
There is also a woody backport of this package available (version 0.6.4-4.4zg5). We plan to NMU this version on Thursday. The maintainer (AJT) has given permission. If you would like to do us the favor of testing it before Thursday then you can get it from: deb http://debian.zugschlus.de/debian/zgpool/main/ifupdown/ / deb-src http://debian.zugschlus.de/debian/zgpool/main/ifupdown/ / -- Thomas Hood
