    You can add a line like
    ``pre-up ip link add name br0 type bridge''
    to your config. This might help. Bridge will be removed similarly with ``post-down [...]''.

    Debian doesn't, ifupdown does, which is perfectly believable since
    ifupdown is quite an old package with not many people working on it. It
    simply hasn't been updated to stop using brctl. There are a lot of
    things like that with ifupdown.

    You may have more luck using systemd-networkd or network-manager or just
    your own scripts to configure networking. There is nothing special about "ifupdown" (/etc/network/interfaces) in Debian; it's just one of several
    ways to manage your networking and for many people not even the best
    way.

    A workaround has already been suggested fopr ifupdown using pre-up /
    post-down hooks which is half way to using your own scripts.

    Thanks,
    Andy

    More importantly, who cares? It gets the job done.
