Of course. ;-)

My laptop has exactly this stanza along with the lo stanza below in the
desktop's interfaces file. As WiCD is used, I wonder if the eth0 stanza
in necessary at all?

This stanza is how my desktop is configured along with lo:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
WiCD is not used on the desktop as its only connection is the wired
Ethernet. The laptop can used either wired or wireless, both managed
via WiCD.

So far as I know, I do not use nis/yp.
I suppose the next step is figuring out how to enable debugging in
