Just to let you know that I've now opened a bug on Debian with important prirority. Let's see what they say...

I have experienced something similar myself and have confirmed today (by editing /target/e/n/i just before finishing the installation) that what you experience does happen. There have been changes in netcfg for Wheezy and they are, in my opinion, the cause of what you experience. There is little you can do about it apart from reporting it as a bug against netcfg after reading the existing bug reports. If you do decide to do this I would say its severity is at least 'important'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
