Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug in preseed or netcfg.

When doing preseed wheezy installs, we came across an issue using
late_command.  netcfg now has a 55netcfg-copy-config in finish-install.d
which unconditionally overwrites /etc/network/interfaces.

This makes it impossible for the late_command to ensure that this file
is correct.  I'm not sure if the netcfg script should be moved earlier,
the late_command script later or whether netcfg should just check for
the existance of e/n/i and not overwrite it if it's been put in place.

This caused us a few issues during initial boot for various automated
installs until we worked around it with a local hack of running an
extra script from a local udeb after 55netcfg-copy-config.

Thanks,

Mark
