Arghs silly me.  I have copy+pasted the output from debconf-get-selections.
Thanks for the hint, Joey!

Now d-i at least prompts for the pppoe user/password.  But after that,
it fails.  Here is the relevant excerpt from syslog:

I also tried to (manually) apply the patch Eddy pointed to
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451446).  But this did not
help, either.
