Package: netcfg Version: 0.54 (not sure about the exact version of netcfg I installed with, but the issue occurred with both beta2 and beta3)
With both beta2 and beta3 I managed to obtain a system with no entry for the loopback interface in /etc/network/interfaces. I went through the netcfg process of the installer. DHCP failed to obtain a connection, since it's pppoe, and I wound up punching in 192.168.0.1 (or was it 127.0.0.1? I can't recall) and other dummy static information just to pass through the prompts. I then rebooted, and noticed that the /etc/network/interfaces file contained only: # Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. ...but nothing more. That there was nothing present about my fake static connection I couldn't care less about, but the lack of an entry for the loopback interface is serious. Presumably "lo" isn't missing for everybody, or this would have been fixed ages ago, so I guess it must be a problem specific to how I handled the installer.
