I disagree:

`man networking`

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


It's terribly simple. Just requires some RTFM. We're not a distro for  
total noobs to a command line and to man pages. I actually think this  
is better, because there actually is documentation, unlike before. Of  
course, someone could always go rewrite netconf to generate such a file.
