So how about mentioning it in interfaces(5)?

I thought more about newly installed systems than upgrading ones. The 
latter could be warned by an entry in the Release Notes instead.
Wouldn't want my /etc/network/interfaces to be touched by a postinst 
script.

Of course that's the better way. It's just not going to happen for 
lenny, if at all (upstream seems quite reluctant).
