[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#576715: metric option not honoured

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 3.1.1-6
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/dhclient-script

(also found in 4.1.0-1)

The script suggests (/IF_METRIC/) that a route metric can be set
from /etc/network/interfaces, but neither are ifupdown variables
available to dhclient, nor does interfaces(5) suggest the
availability of that option for the dhcp method.

It would be nice, but…
