Is this actually Debian?

I have vague memories of someone else asking something like this
before, and at the time I wasn't aware of any software packaged in
Debian that alters the user's /etc/network/interfaces file. I think
in that case it turned out to not actually be Debian.

I also think that there is some Debian packaging rule about one
package not altering the config file of another package unless by
co-operation between the maintainers, so if this does actually turn
out to be Debian there might be bugs to report.

Thanks,
Andy
