Wouldn't you just do that in your reporting?  The report engine usually 
has options for interface, ingress/egress, prefix range, protocol, ....

Then when you need to aggregate for a specific interface for additional 
troubleshooting, you have all the information for when you need it.

Yes, your aggregate numbers for total packets transiting is double, but 
I generally have specific reports for specific traffic patterns I focus 
on anyway.
