With commit abf1c680459fb0bba9db4718b4d2c9faaec21388  for Bug #13773, ifup
always treats devices as "up" even if they are not really up. This breaks
ifplugd's functionality.

e.g.
With commit abf1c680459fb0bba9db4718b4d2c9faaec21388
Plug an Ethernet cable in:

I will try to fix this without breaking Xen machines.
