Did you try to manually retry the configuration? For some unknown reason
ppp-udeb sometimes fails to consistently configure PPPoE. It had this problem
since its begining when I started working on it, but I never found the reason
behind it. Still, manually retrying usually makes it work.

*If* your investigation is correct, apparently the hostname question is
botched/not asked somehow. Don't know why.

This is normal and that is the whole point. To make ppp-udeb configure the
networking instead of netcfg.

No.
