He was advised to try installing in expert mode and, when loading the
installer components, to choose the ppp-modules and ppp-udeb packages.
His expectation was to be able to use pon and poff, as he has been doing
on an already installed system. His expectations were unfounded.
pon and poff are in the ppp package. That package will be installed if
PPPoE is being used as the network connection because pppoeconf depends
on it. He doesn't want PPPoE as a network connection so pon and poff are
not available to him.
Even if they were he would have to have some way of configuring a PPP
connection within d-i to be able to use them.
