Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: netcfg

Mark Shuttleworth pointed out that the CD sleeve text currently says "If
you have more detailed requirements than the defaults, such as assigning
a static IP address, select 'go back' for more options", which is a
rather clumsy thing to have to say on the CD sleeve, and asked if we
could do better in the installer.

Mark's first suggestion was whether the "Go Back" button could simply be
labelled "More Options".  In this case we are faced with cdebconf
limitations, and can't easily change the set of buttons that are
displayed.  I think a more practical option that doesn't involve
substantial infrastructural work would be to offer advice on backing up
for other options inline in netcfg, and am raising this bug as a
reminder to myself for the future.
