I think you should ask on debian-live mailing list because there isn't
anything that will be modifying /etc/network/interfaces on reboot.  :-)

That isn't normal on a normal system.  Must be something specific to
the live system.

Sure.

dhcp3-server?  Did you mean isc-dhcp-client?  And in Wheezy the dhcp
server package is isc-dhcp-server.  The dhcp3-server name was the
Lenny name and was replaced isc-dhcp-server in Squeeze.  In Squeeze
the dhcp3-server and dhcp3-client packages are dummy transition
packages and can (I think should be) be removed as part of the
transition.
