This is where I disagree, because I think there is no reason and no
means for the previous steps to allow such a configuration (iirc,
"leave network interface unconfigured" will just do that, no up, no
IP), so I guess is the ppp-udeb's duty to do the up, if it needs it
for PPPoE. Probably is not the best design, from your POV, but I don't
think that the modular architecture of d-i will enforce this.
