I don't expect this will happen in traditional ifupdown.

ifupdown-ng already has iproute2 `bridge` support see
  https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/ifupdown-ng/interfaces-bridge.5.en.html

and the implementation

  https://github.com/ifupdown-ng/ifupdown-ng/blob/main/executors/linux/bridge#L126C1-L126C25

Let me know if you find anything missing or wonky so I can add it to my
compat TODO list.

I don't see the pressing need, can you explain the motivation? I don't
personally use bridges very much.
