As most of us are probably not customers of your hosting provider we 
have no idea what "helper" you mean above.

I'm guessing you meant RAID-1 here, since RAID-0 is striping.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

At a minimum you could provide the output of `fdisk -l`.

What is a "BIOS boot partition"? On BIOS systems grub must be installed 
in the MBR of the boot device, special partitions are needed for UEFI.

Indeed, kernel images are 'Priority: optional', since debootstrap is 
also used for chroots. You should probably install linux-image-amd64, 
because it depends on the newest kernel.

The Debian specific ifupdown is still supported and installed by 
default, so you can put your config in /etc/network/interfaces as usual.

The systemd components systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved are 
optional and disabled by default of Debian (see 
/usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian).
