Yes, it's beautiful,
but it doesn't tell you in which file to enter the lines :

  config_eth0=( "adsl" )
  adsl_user_eth0="username"

Where do you put them ?  And yes, I have had a look in  /etc/ppp
& all I can see is  pppoe.conf , which doesn't look like that.
I handled the change by editing  /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe , which now says :

  depend() {
        use net
        before ntpd
        after domainname
  }

  start() {
        ebegin "Starting pppoe (adsl)"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
        eend $?
  }

  stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping pppoe (adsl)"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/pppoe-stop
        eend $?
  }

and my machine connects to the Internet correctly at every boot.

Really, this change has not been adequately documented or publicised:
that does happen sometimes, but when it does, it needs attention.

Thanks as always to the devs for their volunteer work.
