A server running a DSL connection will *want* ifplugd, while on it's internal interface will most likely not want ifplugd. IMHO, it is a bug to run ifplugd on a statically cionfigured interface, and since most interfaces you don't want to run ifplugd on are static, we solve the problem without extra complication. However, what would be nice would be a standardised method for making such profiles, which are used at runtime. I am quite sure most of this can be done via the auto-install stuff, but if additional configuration screens could be loaded that way too (maybe they can?), then it would allow better installation support. But then again, why restrict such features to installation, when they could be available afterwards also?
