Description

When you delete a normal interface, the rules are left orphaned in config.xml without an interface tag so there is no easy (Read: In the GUI) way to delete or reassign the rules. Among other problems, if one of these rules used an alias, you can't rename or delete the alias since the system believes the alias is in use.

When a normal interface is deleted, these rules should be deleted as well.

Note that this is not that case for PPTP, IPsec, and OpenVPN. Those rules keep their interface association when their VPN type is disabled, so they can safely be left.
