I had it installed at one point, but my net configs change on
every different job site and sometimes I'll have multiple ip's
mapped to eth0 and run in a router config. For *that* it is just
as easy to fiddle with /etc/network/interfaces manually.
It would certainly be nice if it were integrated into debconf, but
I suppose an app that found all currently installed servers via
debconf's database and either in command line or X gave you a
means of selecting/deselecting servers which should be run at
boot, with a default that a server not run when installed by
dselect until you have specifically decided to chose it for
use on this particular day/hour/customer/project/whim.
I guess I should dream on. I seem to be a loner in the this
need and my plate is well overfull with projects so I couldn't
take it on. Doesn't look particularly difficult, but it would
require cooperation from dpkg and debconf and that would
probably not be forthcoming.
Oh, well, back into my hole...
