Bug#334589: netcfg: prompts for network interface, even at critical priority

[Paul Telford <pxt@debian.org>]

Package: netcfg
Version: 1.16
Severity: normal

I did an install using the latest (downloaded today) "testing"
business-card installer image on and x86_64 machine.  The machine has
two NICs, and the install stopped and prompted me to choose one, even
though I had set debconf/priority=critical.  I believe this is a change
in behaviour, as I don't remember seeing this question before on
multi-NIC machines. (?)  At most I think this question should be "high"
priority, maybe even "normal".  eth0 seems like a reasonable default.

Thanks,


 Paul.
