Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bridge-utils
I have a bridge interface specified in /etc/network/interfaces, but when
the machine starts up the bridge device is not available early enough --
other packages (specifically OpenVPN and OpenNTPd) try to bind to the
requested interface, but fail.
The OpenVPN listen interface is specified by IP address only, not device
name. The OpenNTPd interface is "*". OpenSSH works just fine, and does
not have any device specified in its config; but there are syslog
comments saying the ssh is terminating, so perhaps there is a retry
somewhere that is masking this issue.

to be /dev/officenet and /dev/prodnet):-
