This sounds like exactly the behaviour that I explained in 2013 here:
https://askubuntu.com/a/332421/7808
ifconfig still exists but is deprecated and no longer shipped by
default. Users should use its replacement "ip" instead.
However it is true that ifconfig does not display the additional aliases
set by ifupdown, so the bug remains valid. But since ifconfig is
deprecated we don't expect this to ever be addressed, so I'm setting the
bug status to Won't Fix.
** Changed in: net-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: Expired => Won't Fix

Title:
ifconfig not showing virtual ip addresses
Status in net-tools package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
After upgrading to 11.10 my virtual ip addresses do not show up in an
ifconfig (-a).
Furthermore the eth0:1 address seems to be used for eth0 itself, and
the DHCP assigned address (10.8.100.81) is seen as secondary address
for eth0?
