Presuming the d-i / netinst experience undergoes any kind of continuous
integration tests... is using PPPoE part of those tests?
It just feels both oddly very well documented ...
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apds05.en.html ... yet
simultaneously unloved ?
I never got why this is an optional module anyway? Why not just make it
part of the network autoconfiguration step?
i.e. if local-link/ipv6-autoconf/dhcp has failed then look for a PPPoE
AC instead (which now thanks to bug #1070753 takes a mere blip of
time)... and if one is found then ask for user/pass.
Or if you don't want it part of the autoconfiguration, then after that
has failed and you've currently got the option to 'retry', or 'retry
with a dhcp hostname', or 'configure manually'... just add a new option...
'Retry network autoconfiguration with PPPoE'
Seem feasible?
I know PPPoE isn't massively popular in places like the US, but in the
UK and Europe it is widely used by many an ISP.
