I've not tried it. Please let us know if it works.

A couple of ideas, neither tested:

1. Backup /target/e/n/i. At least it will be on the new system and give
   you less work should you want to use it.

2. Delete /usr/lib//finish-install.d/55netcfg-copy-config at some stage
   of the install. This will effectively give you a Squeeze situation.

   55netcfg-copy-config is a pain anyway. It appears to focus on making
   sure someone who installed GNOME and Network Manager has a connected
   system.

   If you go for a minimal install with ifupdown it seems you are
   penalised. Installing over a wireless connection without a DE surely
   epitomises that. No network connection on first boot and not a single
   indication in the installer or in the documentation it might happen.
   This removal of connectivity legitimately configured during the
   install must be a first in Debian's history.
