This is scary. I just had a rather unpleasant experience with this
behaviour on a router box here. Time was a little bit out of sync,
upped an interface, and then the time was stepped, something that made
OSPF die in horror as it can't quite cope with the situation where
time goes backwards (no wonder).
So the if-up.d call need to use the -B option orelse it's not safe to
have this package installed on production systems.
