    Debian doesn't have good support for dynamic networking. And the Debian
    installer does not install the tools that are available.

    These are known shortcomings and filing another bug report about it will
    not help at all. Debian does not have the developer resources to
    fix this problem.

    I expect that Ubuntu Breezy will show progress on this issue.
