I propose the attached changes to debconf tempaltes for netcfg. Basically,
this means changing the "Dynamic addressing" choice by "Automatic network
configuration" choice, which is probably easier to understand (and closer to
reality).
The wording for "static addressing" also changes to "Manual configuration".
The proposed changes impacts the netcfg/get_method choices, so changes to
scripts handling the user choices are probably needed.

A similar change in the wording has been made by Joey Hess. I'm
therefore closing this bug. Please feel free to reopen it if you think
the wording is not clear enough.
