The part of this bug applying to /etc/network/interfaces is fixed thanks
to this change, which I think is a fundamentally better approach even
though it doesn't deal with releases earlier than lucid:
ifupdown (0.6.8ubuntu29) lucid; urgency=low
* debian/postinst: if the loopback interface is missing from the config in
/etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade; there is no valid use case
for a system without localhost, and not bringing this up will cause
upstart runlevel handling to fail. LP: #497299.

(It's always best to keep logic regarding packages' configuration files
in those packages rather than in debootstrap.)
I'm not yet sure what to do about /etc/fstab and /etc/hosts. I've
confirmed at least that the proposed changes there wouldn't break the
installer. The proposed /etc/hosts is probably OK. Aesthetically I
feel that the proposed /etc/fstab is probably too verbose and that more
documentation should be local and delegated to manual page references or
whatever. In any case, though, I strongly believe that Debian and
Ubuntu should behave in a semantically identical way here lest
sysadmins' heads explode in confusion, so I'll forward the essence of
this to Debian.
