This doesn't provide a clean way to request DHCP config for an interface without obtaining a lease during install, but this isn't a regression from current behaviour. Perhaps we can cnage the "DHCP lease acquisition failed" message to instead ask "configure DHCP anyway? Y/n" and do the exec $0 only if the user answers n.
