Weeeell, currently there is no such message and I would prefer to release the current version as soon as possible to make sure the Etch installer has working support for (standard ;-) PPPoE installs for most people. I'd say this notice should be something for the next release (of ppp-udeb). BTW, proposals for the short notice are welcome. > BTW.
