Apologies in advance for bike-shedding.

Perhaps we should check if netcfg/choose_interface is set to 'auto'
instead of blindly setting the interface name? This should cater for
people who have accidentally left the ipappend option on (or have cargo-
culted the option from elsewhere) and have specified a specific
interface?

If this is being discussed elsewhere (upstream), I will be happy to take
the conversation there.

Example:

LABEL install
        kernel hardy-amd64
        # whoops I have left this on
        ipappend 2
       # and i have specifically asked for an interface (which will be ignored)
        append interface=eth2 [more options]
