Correct. Apparently, though, that behaviour didn't bother anybody
enough to look at current netcfg code and propose the needed patch
(hint: netcfg is one of the very few parts of D-I that's written in
C. It partly explains why several feature requests, like this one,
aren't processed).

Patches still welcomed. There is no objection by the D-I team to fix
that, but not for squeeze.
