D-I is not responsible for such setups. It does not do such setups for
systems with two "normal" NICs that are used as bridge, router or Internet
gateway, and I don't see why it should do anything special for PPPoE.
D-I sets the system up for use with a single NIC. Any other config ATM is up
to the sysadmin after the installation has completed. And, as said before,
I see no reason to do things differently for ppp-udeb than we do for
netcfg.
The current settings are a rather careful compromise between different
needs. Changing them would require a lot of care.
