I only partly agree on this. As this is convenient for users that really
have a network it could be annoying to users that either don't have a
network card at all or which connect with a plain old analog modem.
IIRC the woody boot-floppies and base-config did not contain a mandatory
network configuration either so not including netcfg in full cd sets
would not be a step back.

Then I will probably try to adapt it for base-config.
