thus it should be removed & blocklisted until it is integrated with
ubuntu properly.

Title:
  RM: ifupdown2 & blocklist (Must not provide ifupdown on Ubuntu)

Status in ifupdown2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am concerned about shipping ifupdown2 package in Ubuntu, with
  declaration that it can provide ifupdown.

  It is not a direct replaced of ifupdown in Ubuntu, as features present
  in Ubuntu's ifupdown are not implemented in ifupdown2 package.

  * allow-hotplug / auto / udev-rules for hotplug are not present

  * does not use dhclient -1 option

  * does not ship resolved integration

  Installing ifupdown2 thus will break system expectations, reintroduce
  previously fixed bugs, potentially leave people without networking if
  they are currently using ifupdown.

  Imho ifupdown2 package should be removed from the archive, or for at
  least Provides ifupdown should be dropped, until it gains bug fixes
  and features to be a viable ifupdown provider on Ubuntu.
