I have fixed the backing up from the dhcp retry y/n prompt. The backup issue from the first page of static config is more challenging. It actually works ok, but it backs up to the question where the type of networking (dhcp/static) is chosen. Problem is, that is not displayed at high priority, and if it is not displayed then the user is dumped into the dhcp retry again. Granted, they can hit back again to get back to the main menu given my fix above, but this is still a touch annoying.
It may be that this is really cdebconf's fault. If this were debconf, it would keep track that the user is backing up at the static config question. When the networking type question is not displayed, debconf would make the next GO return 30 anyway, as if they had backed up more. I'll bet cdebconf does not do that. -- see shy jo
