Sorry for my previous unreadable post, I forgot to deactivate encryption :-(
Hi Lynwood, tnx for coming back,

I guess the best way to answer this is, what Network
Operating System
are you using?

- *nix - only one tunnel need to be enumerated
I am running Debian stock 4.19.160-2 kernel.
And it seems that indeed on this system the required tunnels indeed seem
to be created on-demand.
So since my post I've managed to set up my machine finally, by careful
trying the different solutions documented in the various scripts
available in the wiki and by learning about linux tunnels.
But as I was trying to setup my machine the "debian way" I first had to
overcome some hurdles. Specifically I was trying to set up the tunnel by
using the "tunnel" stanza in /etc/network/interfaces and that requires
explicit IP addresses for the endpoints. While I was experimenting with
this I found out that always, even after successful ifdown of my tunnel,
a single tunnel device remained. This device could not be removed by any
means, once there. Further investigation leads me to believe that this
is "the" device that is able to create tunnels "on the fly". (So far
I
have not started to read the source of the ipip driver, which I believe
will be the only place where I can hope to get a definitive answer.)
However then the debian way to set up things is not so straight forward
any more. At least I was able to come up with a solution (somewhat of a
hack, but not worse than the other scripts) by ifup-ing my net by
specifying the setup using the "manual" stanza.
...
You can see this from the relevant Wikis.
Unfortunately I was not able to find some explicit information on the
issue within the wikis. Would you pls be so kind and point me to the
relevant article?
In either case, if you are interested, here is my setup of
/etc/network/interfaces:
