Not sure I understand the difference here. In my understanding the name used in the auto and iface lines, both refer to a logical interface (iow after they have been renamed by udev/kernel based).

Agreed that this makes it complicated. Though I must admit, that I am not sure since when such a thing existed in previous releases. If the man page is correct (in Oneriric) options are quite limited.

Mostly agree. The only thing that worries me is that I do not understand what exactly an outcome of merging things will be and what effects that "priority critical" will have. The link-tail-to original only happens when there is nothing in e/n/i that would create any content. So the dynamic part is empty (unless the configuration is changed). IMO this results in a dynamic file that should be the same as before. That could change when the admin only adds dhcp interfaces or dns- lines without removing the file used to append. Would that break the system? But in general I think this sounds like it should work.
