It seems we must have a cascade of problems.
Base-config only runs pppconfig if PPP is set in /root/dbootstrap_settings --
dbootstrap is supposed to set that if you do something (dunno what) during the
initial install. Does dbootstrap do this correctly? I don't know. If you
can supply a /root/dbootstrap_settings file, we can find out.
If that is set properly, base-config will prompt you to tall if you want to
install via ppp. However, I notice this prompt has a default of no, and it
is only asked at a medium priority. If you ran dbootstrap in quiet mode,
this would cause it to default to no w/o you seeing the question. I've
increased the priority of the question now.
I have confirmed that base-config also has a bug -- it should set up ppp
after asking the question and before configuring apt, but does not. I have
now corrected this bug, and verified that pppconfig is run if PPP is set in
dbootstrap_settings. (This fixs is in base-config 0.24, in Incoming.)

Against what? I can't find it.
