Currently I do not see any possibility for this without major
architectures changes.
However, it may be likely that the DHCP/non-DHCP thing comes again
into discussion.
I may even predict some reviews with comments like "Debian mimics
Microsoft Windows and decides that DHCP is the standard"...:-)
Hence, I suggest we consider adding a special boot parameter for
this : "static" would feed netcfg/get_method with "Static addressing
(manual)".
