I just installed debian potato on a machine as a fresh install. After
completing the setup I noticed that there was no loopback device setup or a
localhost entry in /etc/hosts although there was an entry setup as 127.0.0.1
being my hostname that I specified during setup. I understand that the
reason it probibly does this is to make sure that upgrades don't become
broken. Maybe checking to see if /etc/init.d/network exists and if not then
adding a /etc/network/interfaces that has the localhost active and sets the
localhost entry into /etc/hosts. Just an idea, thanks for your time.

--
.....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
boot-floppies (2.2.15) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* version 2.2.14 skipped because ARM porters (naughty! naughty!) did
an unauthorized and untagged upload
* new base, build with new modutils (closes: Bug#63855)
* Adam Di Carlo
- documentation: add index.html symlink and other magic in the install
target; fix and improve the doc-web rule
- release notes: add a section regarding major user-visible changes in
the installation system
- dbootstrap: change the behavior of the bad blocks check: we ask by
default, but the default is not to run the check (closes: Bug#64178);
suppress the /var/run/cardmgr.pid message; fix nasty modconf problem
created when you configure PCMCIA before drivers (closes:
Bug#63900); at reboot, copy /var/log/messages to the newly installed
/var/log/installer.log; write HTTP_PROXY from net-fetch to
dbootstrap_settings, as used by new base-config; some more
informative syslogging; quiet is quieter; disallow user to mount on
/etc (closes: Bug#25225)
- base: remove old setup.sh we were installing which updated the
locate database, which is irrelevant (closes: Bug#63006, Bug#64227);
remove cruft, viz., scripts/basedisks/{new_root_home,po,newtasks},
if there is any interest in this material it is purely historical,
and would be better served by folks checking out boot-floppies CVS
as of 5 May 2000; close an unreproducible bug (closes: Bug#63256)
- Makefile: distclean is a bit cleaner (removes CVS crufty files);
fix a nasty typo where the udma66 flavor wasn't using the right
kernels
- documentation/kernel-config*: remove, we use the config from the
kernel-image packages directly

from Depends to Suggests (closes: Bug#64548); remove unneeded lynx
depends
* Nils Rennebarth
- release.sh: fix a bug related to the the kernel config shuffling
* Eric Hanchrow: documentation typo fixes

source for kernel/drivers/base
(closes: Bug#62527, Bug#60576, Bug#30780)
NOTE: right now you need to create a directory structure that is
like what the archive has. This needs to be worked-around or
documented

ensure the mirror is fresh

(closes: Bug#64066)
- dbootstrap/netconfig.c: fixed some typos in the comments
