After some experimentation on Ubuntu15.04, I see the following behavior. 1. If you install openvswitch-switch with 'apt-get install', then you automatically get a upstart and systemd config files for openvswitch. The integration with 'interfaces' fails because both the upstart and systemd jobs do not have logic to handle it. The above behavior will likely get fixed soon in upstream Ubuntu. 2. If you install openvswitch-switch via the packages created from the openvswitch repo, there is no systemd or upstart conf files installed. But systemd notices this and creates a runtime openvswitch conf file which does nothing but call back the sysv startup script. In the above case when you call "/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start", it inturn calls "/bin/systemctl start openvswitch-switch.service" and that inturn again calls "/etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start". But the above for some reason simply hangs. It looks like a call to ifup when invoked in this manner does not return. I am not sure why this is happening. We can avoid the above behavior completely by skipping the systemctl redirect as done in this commit. This should fix both 1. and 2. above.
