Yes, that's a can of worms that will have to be dealt with in the future. Basically any network service that supports binding to just one specific IP address needs to use /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d or similar mechanisms. Probably we'll need a mechanism saying that "service X depends on hw devices Y and Z, so X should be started if and when Y and Z are both available".
