Running within the context of an if-up.d hook you make an explicit
assumption that $network is already provided, which is probably reasonable.

Strictly speaking though, the LSB $network facility is defined in
/etc/insserv.conf when the networking (or the old ifupdown) SysV init
script has been fully started, which is not the case during the inital
start of that script.

I'm not sure how to address this. Either the hooks are fixed to not make
this assumption, or the "bring network up" phase proving $network and
"run if-up.d hooks" are split into two different SysV init scripts.

The latter is probably not feasable.
