The culprit here should be patch 2/5 as this one only checks explicitly
defined interfaces.
(Iow. this would cover having an 'iface eth0.11 inet manual' without
having an 'eth0' device).

I didn't know ifupdown could handle not defining the vlan interfaces
before using them, actually. If it can do that, then yeah, we should
fix the check.
