Title:
  Wake on LAN:  No safe way to keep interface up

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  There should be a safe way to prvent an interface from being shut down
  when the system goes down, as it is sometimes needed for it to stay up
  in order to accept Wake On LAN requests.

  This can currently already be achieved by "pre-down false" in the
  interfaces file (since a false result aborts), but the man page says
  this behaviour is not guaranteed for future versions.
