Reason for closing:  Deferred
Additional comments about closing:  This should still work using the legacy network configuration in initscripts. It can be removed from bridge-utils when netcfg gains support for it.

Going to assign it to the last packager.

I never used this package. However, i guess this functionality is still working, so there is no urgency to remove it.

It should be deprecated though:

Firstly, we should check that a proper deprecation warning is printed if this functionality is used.

Secondly, if 1) bridgesupport in netcfg is satisfactory, and 2) removing the file from the package does not change any existing installations (due to being in the backup array), then we could remove the file from the package I guess.

I'm pretty sure the functionality is not working anymore. See my original forum post from June https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120549

"Although the actual problem seems to be that the bridge isn't even created anymore at boot"
