Bug Description

Hi everyone,

Since Debian 7 (Wheezy) / Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) ifupdown supports the source stanza to source in other configuration files from /etc/network/interfaces.

Upstream the Network Manager ifupdown plugin has been patched to honor the source stanza:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707276

Can we please integrate this upstream patch into Trusty?
I've backported the two upstream patches, merged them, tested them against 0.9.8.4-0ubuntu3 and attached the patch to this bug.

Best,

Michael Schaller
