That is how you use the etherconf tool, "dpkg-reconfigure etherconf".

when I do I get this:
laptop:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
auto lo eth0

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp
        hostname laptop


### END OF DEBCONF AREA.  PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.
