I tested it with a (OVS) bridge and intport defined in
/etc/network/interfaces, both are brought up without the init script
without any problems.

There are pre-up and post-down snippets installed in /etc/network/..
which should handle calling ovs binaries to add/remove the interfaces
defined in /etc/network/interfaces.

If you have a test or real setup that does not work without the init
script, please give details!
