That's your problem. Don't use etherconf.
$ apt-cache show etherconf
Package: etherconf
Version: 1.10
Description: debconf interface to Ethernet configuration
This package provides a debconf-based interface to configuring the
Ethernet on your system. Currently, it will only configure one Ethernet
device, but more support is planned in the future.
The key in the description is:
**Currently, it will only configure one Ethernet device,**
It appears that the new version (in sarge and sid) doesn't have that
limitation.
Package: etherconf
Version: 1.14-0.3
Description: debconf interface to Ethernet device configuration
Etherconf is a debconf-based interface for configuring Ethernet devices on
your system. It supports both manual and DHCP-based configurations.

Edit /etc/network/interfaces as you already know how :
auto eth0
interface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
interface eth1 inet static
...
Then run 'ifup eth1' and 'ifup eth0'.
BTW, you don't need to specify the network and broadcast addresses for
eth1, but you do need to specify the gateway, if there is one. The
network and broadcast addresses can be computed from the interface's
address and the netmask. Specifying them correctly is not wrong,
though.

Yes, Java is so bulletproofed that to a C programmer it feels like being in a
straightjacket, but it's a really comfy and warm straightjacket, and the world
would be a safer place if everyone was straightjacketed most of the time.
