According to changelog.Debian, the pppoe patch was removed in ppp
2.4.1.uus-1 because it broke demand dialing:

  * Removed kernel mode pppoe patch. Breaks demand dialling. Upstream
    is planning on native pppoe support for 2.4.2 (Closes: #103843)
      
I don't remember where you can get the patch, though...
