I think the slave interface mtu will be used.

yep that script looks good.

only thing i can think of is, what if an interface's inet6 section is
specified (and setup) first, before the interface's inet section?  e.g.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet6 static
    address 2001:dbe::1/64
    mtu 1480

iface eth0 inet static
     address 10.0.0.1
     mtu 1500

would that cause the device mtu to be (re)set to 1500, after the ipv6
mtu had been set?  That would reset the ipv6 mtu to 1500.  Can the
ordering of inet/inet6 sections always be inet before inet6?
