 ifupdown2
 =========
+
+ifupdown2 is a alternate implementation of debian's network interface manager
+ifupdown.
+
+ifupdown2 provides the required infrastructure to parse, schedule and
+manage interface configuration. Also provides default python addon modules
+for network interface configuration.
+
+
+Note: Previously ifupdown2 came as two packages: python-ifupdown2 and
+python-ifupdown2-addons. python-ifupdown2-addons contents are now merged into
+python-ifupdown2 package (python-ifupdown2-addons package is hence deprecated).
