No, I don't think so. The corresponding change in install.sh from ajacoutot@ (rev. 1.258) just writes the two localhost entries to the hosts file instead of using a static hosts template file containing these two localhost entries. I just did a test install myself to verify the current installer behaviour. Having one interface and using 'dhcp' to configure it results in the two localhost lines and nothing more. I used the latest snapshot for that.
