[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#151820: dhcp3-client: Does not send hostname to server by default changed policy

[colliar]

Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5
Followup-For: Bug #151820

Hi

By adding

send host-name = gethostname();

to dhclient.conf you totally changed the default behaviour which is not nice as
you are not warned about it with default configuration in use (no changes in
dhclient.conf).

Personally, I always liked the previous settings and I think dpkg should asked
you about "sending a hostname or not" and the defaults should remain "not
sending" !

Thanks
Colliar
