Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.4-3
Severity: wishlist

It would be convenient to be able to get the IP address for use in
"up" lines.

Eg, I currently use the following, which is not really so nice:

iface eth0 inet dhcp
	up /etc/local/fw
	up ddclient -ip $(ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | sed 's/^.*addr:\([0-9.]*\).*$/\1/') -retry
