[Environment]

MAAS 2.0

[Description]

Given the following configuration: http://img.ctrlv.in/img/16/06/02/5750ac35c78f8.png

The resulting /etc/network/interfaces looks as following:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/16931445/

Some bad aspects of the resulting configuration are:

1) An ipv4 ip address is configured on the alias, while an ipv6 address was expected,

auto bond0:1
iface bond0:1 inet6 static
    address 172.27.72.7/26

2) It seems that there is no need to configure the bond-* options on the alias interfaces as these
options are inherited.

3) Could be possible to describe why and how the hwaddresses are selected for the aliases?
