I've committed this patch.

I tested it with Stretch Alpha 4 installer in Virtualbox. After install,
I found that /etc/network/interfaces was empty except for the loopback
device. But there's a different issue: the installer created a network
manager connection "Wired Connection 1".

I tried testing with 2 network configurations:
- Bridged Adapter: Wired Connection 1 is active, FreedomBox WAN is not
active. Plinth cannot be accessed from host machine.
- Bridged Adapter + Host-only Adapter: FreedomBox WAN is active on
enp0s3, Wired Connection 1 is active on enp0s8, FreedomBox LAN enp0s8 is
not active. Plinth can be access on bridged adapter IP only.

So it looks like we will need to check for this connection and delete it.

Some more ideas for further improvements:
- There are still several prompts in the install process, maybe these
can be automated.
- This preseed file appears to be only meant for x86 or amd64. Since
Debian has installers for several armhf boards now, we can look into
making a preseed file that works on armhf.
