i'm terribly sorry, but the notification-mail has been sorted out as spam and i
found out about it just now. looks like a spamassassin-problem introduced some

if it's configured that way - yes (which is also the default, and we had the
discussion already, this is probably the way to go. please feel free to discuss
if you think it's the wrong way).
to disable the dhcp client, add ip=none (no ip in initrd) or a static ip=...
configuration to the kernel parameters.

(just btw, iirc configure_networking is a 'library function' used by other
initrd and networking related packages)
