[Brian Murray]

Which release of Ubuntu are you using?  This was fixed in maverick in
bug 574042.

10:20:31 - flash:[/tmp] dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Conffiles}' ifupdown
 /etc/network/if-down.d/upstart be2d7ca79c30064a88777f8c6c1d19fe
 /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart 1508668168bca783524789c4c87e28e2

Title:
  Files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init should be conffiles

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I needed to make a change in /etc/init/network-interface.conf to make
  my persistent PPP connection work with upstart. However my change kept
  going away after a couple of months. It took me a while to figure out
  why. The files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init are not marked as
  conffiles!

  Please mark /etc/init/network-interface.conf and friends as conffiles,
  so if a sysadmin needs to make change to these files, they are
  retained and do not disappear silently the next time the ifupdown
  package is upgraded!
