Yes, it is. It also entirely fails to deal with anything that uses the
crack-addled mapping format. The debian networking infrastructure
currently fails to provide information that sensibly maps into anything
to do with reality. The interaction between it and stuff like guessnet
is a prime example of this - without parsing the guessnet configuration,
you have no idea how to relate the interfaces provided to anything sane.
There's no clearly defined way of expressing who enacts policy over
/etc/network/interfaces at present. Until that's fixed, expecting other
applications to deal with it is utterly insane.
