But that should apply to the 'basename' part of the filename only, not to
the 'dirname' part of it !

ifupdown.c wants to run-parts in the following directories:

	/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/
	/etc/network/if-up.d/
	/etc/network/if-down.d/
	/etc/network/if-post-down.d/

The current check in run-parts does nothing (and thus ifupdown.c
fails) because as it is now, the check skips over perfectly well named
files in those directories, due to the dot in the *directory* name. I'm
sure that's not what was intended :)

What about the second iteration of the patch, which skips over the
directory name before starting to check ? I botched it when I sent it
last time (one should never rush these things :) but here it is again:
