Result is red debconf screen because failure.
See _complete_ log here:

Yeap, that is correct :-D . Ok, I looked over the apt-install code and
saw that apt-install will return 1 is the package is queued fr
installation, a thing which is perfectly acceptable for ppp :-D.

I have attached a patch that should be applied over the current source
ppp package and should fix both #385150 and #384121. I attached also
the resulted ppp-udeb.postinst file after the patching (which should
improve testing efficiency, since it can be transfered to the test
machine via netcat).

People who wish to test the new changes can grab the postinst attached
and copy it via netcat (nc) in the installation environment (still the
plugin moving is needed) over the original one.

Indeed I have no spare partition to test complete d-i with PPPoE
and first reboot. I will *try* to have a new disk to test it next
week.

Thanks a lot for that.

P.S.: The current ppp-udeb todo list is also attached, it would be
nice to have it in the ppp source package.
