It's interesting that you should say that.
I had to get my Potato net working without the aid of
the install scripts, because the install kernal
couldn't load my internet card driver, and thus
wouldn't let me fill in the network menus.
Hunting the net all over, I found all kinds of advice,
lots of it not specific to Debian. That specific to
Debian listed both the interfaces file you mention,
and the init.d/network file.
I finally got my networking by setting up the
/etc/init.d/network file, and the interfaces file only
has an entry for the loopback.
After all the Debian stuff I read (they listed their
network manual on Debian site as incomplete, I can
verify that), I could never quite understand what was
what. Got it to work anyway, by brute force and some
experience with Redhat.
