So it should be sufficient to show this warning if there are lines like # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp from the Debian-Installer, which interfere.

No, I just needed to tell someone the problems I went through ;-) Only the second issue was probably a password issue. The following messages were logged.

Thanks for the hints. • laptop-netconf sounds promising. • network-manager does not support PPPoE if I read the sites correctly on the net. But I am not sure. Thanks, Paul
