* Fix regression with the removal of the sysvinit networking job:
  - Don't bring 'lo' down (add it to --exclude)
  - Emit deconfiguring-networking (LP: #1061639)

95. By Stéphane Graber on 2012-09-13

* Merge ifupdown 0.7.2 from Debian. Remaining changes:
  - If the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file is present
    but doesn't have the "ifupdown:managed" the previous upload instructed
    the iniparser to return -1, which evaluates to TRUE. We instead instruct
    it to return 0, as we shouldn't prevent ifupdown from managing the
    interfaces in that case, as NM won't either. (LP: #281984)
  - debian/postinst: If the loopback interface is missing from the config
    in /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade.
  - Add jobs and hooks for upstart.
* Remove /etc/default/networking as the upstart job doesn't use it and
  can't really use it without some significant changes (support exclusion
  lists in all the upstart jobs).
* Add resolvconf (8) to SEE ALSO section of the interfaces manpage.
  (LP: #1043335)

94. By Steve Langasek on 2012-09-06

* Add a 'stop on' rule for the networking service, so that we tear the
  network down at the correct point in the shutdown sequence (after remote
  filesystems have been unmounted). This is mostly needed when using
  insserv upstart integration (not yet in Ubuntu) to ensure the shutdown
  doesn't hang waiting for an unsatisfiable init script dependency, but it
  also addresses the need for shutting down networking on runlevel changes
  - provided that umountnfs.sh itself is called for runlevel 1, which it
  currently is not.
* Also start the job on runlevel [2345]. This is a no-op during a normal
  boot since the network will be started *before* runlevel is emitted, but
  is needed to restart the network after a change from runlevel 1.
  LP: #752481.

Make /etc/init.d/networking a conffile even if it's a symlink.
This should help dpkg do the right thing when moving the file from netbase
over to ifupdown. This is a workaround for (LP: #1023437)

92. By Stéphane Graber on 2012-07-03

* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
  - If the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file is present
    but doesn't have the "ifupdown:managed" the previous upload instructed
    the iniparser to return -1, which evaluates to TRUE. We instead instruct
    it to return 0, as we shouldn't prevent ifupdown from managing the
    interfaces in that case, as NM won't either. (LP: #281984)
  - debian/postinst: If the loopback interface is missing from the config
    in /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade.
  - Add jobs and hooks for upstart.
  - Cherry-pick commit a1f8efc4d93f from upstream, add --no-scripts as a
    parameter to ifup/ifdown, allowing the user to bypass the the scripts
    in /etc/network/if-*.d/ (LP: #258782)
* Don't include new /etc/default/networking as it's incompatible with event
  based networking configuration.
* Don't bump dependency on initscripts as the dependency isn't required with
  the upstart jobs and the new version isn't in Ubuntu yet.
* Drop our code hardcoding the metric at 100 for the default gateway,
  this was used to avoid conflicts between ifupdown and Network Manager.
  Nowadays Network Manager won't manage an interface defined in ifupdown
  and the rest of the metric changes are now in ifupdown.

* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
  (LP: #298488, LP: #663352)
  - ifupdown.nw: Use 100 as default route metric unless an explicit metric
    parameter is set in /etc/network/interface.

  - Add jobs and hooks for upstart.
* Cherry-pick commit 011d5904c09d from upstream, fixing cases where the
  error messages wouldn't be triggered (caused test failure).
* Cherry-pick commit 7c1a226cc995 from upstream, adds support for two
  options on dhcpv6 (accept_ra and autoconf) (LP: #1013597)
* Cherry-pick commit 5af7e814faee from upstream, fixing a failure in the
  example script generate-interfaces.pl (LP: #286808)
* Cherry-pick commit a1f8efc4d93f from upstream, add --no-scripts as a
  parameter to ifup/ifdown, allowing the user to bypass the the scripts
  in /etc/network/if-*.d/ (LP: #258782)

* Fix upstart hook to ignore ADDRFAM=meta (ifup -a).
* Cherry-pick commit 6c67e908b934 from upstream, making ifquery only
  list interfaces with a matching iface entry.
