What I notice is missing is that the network is one of the few things in the
system without an associated config command. We have 'tzconfig' for timezones,
'apacheconfig' for apache, 'sendmailconfig' for sendmail and so on, but the
only nice front end for configuring the network is during the install.
This doesn't bother me personally, since I know my way around a Debian system
very well, but it's annoying when trying to sell the merits of Debian over,
for example, RedHat.
