Yes, know bug. The problem is that pppoeconf added localization
support and added a dependency to gettext to base (violating the
freeze). As it turns out only gettext-base it actualy only needs
gettext-base (which is already in base).
A fixed pppoeconf should be in incoming and arrive with the next
dinstall run.
Meanwhile you can try the netinst isos or the debian-amd64 repository
instead of pure64. The sid netinst iso is known to work, the rest
needs testing.
