It may not be how you used it, but that is how ifplugd (or netplug) is
supposed to be used with openrc. It detects whether ifplugd or netplug is
installed when the interface is started up and starts it up to monitor
the interface using the correct options. It's been that way fr a lot of
years and was documented, I think in the comments in the net.* scripts.

Your approach may have worked in the past but it was unsupported, now it
appears that it doesn't work.
