I cannot give a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid. But I'd be very
interested in getting one.

TTBOMK, there is no such command. :-( There used to be "base-config" in
the package of the same name, but that package was removed before the
Etch release, the reason being that the installer handles all this
stuff. Which means that one has to hand-edit /etc/network/interfaces,
/etc/apt/sources.list etc.
Anyone who has better suggestions?
