No; you can't delete an address without specifying one.  I can't see
this as a bug.

If you want to destroy ppp0, as your "neatness" remark seems to imply,
"delete" is the wrong verb; you want "ifconfig ppp0 destroy" in that
case.  "delete" deletes an address but does not do away with the
interface itself.
