Yes, it was also present in my earlier debian versions, but as I said, I am familiar with pppoeconf and use it since it hides unnecessary form fields, like here, the DSL tab asks for service form to be filled up, whereas in pppoeconf this field is not present, so is the confusion associated with it. Maybe this form is optional, but how will the lay users know it?

Not impossible, as you can see, but because of the reasons quoted earlier. But I should not forget to say thanks for your offer for support.
