Thanks for tackling this! Consider this

Tested-by: Friedrich Weber <f.weber@proxmox.com>

I tested the following:

- Set up a PVE8 VM with an active-backup bond, from /etc/network/interfaces:

> auto bond0
> iface bond0 inet manual
> 	bond-slaves ens18 ens19
> 	bond-miimon 100
> 	bond-mode active-backup
> 
> auto vmbr0
> iface vmbr0 inet static
> 	address 10.1.1.122/16
> 	gateway 10.1.1.1
> 	bridge-ports bond0
> 	bridge-stp off
> 	bridge-fd 0

- Install ifupdown and ifenslave
- Manually create a .dpkg-new:

>  cp /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new

- Reboot -- network comes up fine.
- Install latest packaged ifupdown2:

> apt install ifupdown2=3.2.0-1+pmx8

- Network is already lost during install
- Reboot -- network does not come up, bond0 and vmbr0 report NO-CARRIER
- Install ifupdown2 with this patch applied
- Reboot -- network comes up fine
- Running `execsnoop -l network & sleep 3; ifreload -a` confirms
ifenslave.dpkg-new is never executed (ifenslave is never executed by
ifupdown2, see the pull request linked by Stefan)
