Until fairly recently I have always had static IPs and chosen to use static 
IPs.  I have always been able to tell the installer so, and have ended up 
with a properly configured network and a well-written network interfaces 
file.

I now use DHCP with addresses fixed in the router via MAC address, so this 
doesn't arise.
