After installation via live-installer, one is left with a system without
networking dispite netcfg configuring it correctly. The attached patch
copies d-i networking settings (if they exist) to the target instead of
simply deleting them.

This patch copies d-i networking settings (if they exist) to the target. This operation is already performed a base-installer.d pre-installation hook, but the changes are overridden during the extraction of the live filesystem image. An alternative to this patch would be to run the pre- installation hooks post-extraction, but that seems to be asking for trouble.
