Sorry for the long long delay, I had some personal problems...

And sorry, yet, for the wrong bug report. A third person told me there was no 
interfaces file in his machine, and in fact the file was there, but it was 
invalid. It's a known bug of pppoeconf, nothing to do with the installer.

I have a few other points about debian-installer beta 2 but I think I'll first 
write to debian-boot next time.

Thanks for the great work!

Tiago.
