[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#795023: [network-manager] RE: [network-manager] Bricks DNS when disconnecting from a VPN, separately ignores instruction not to use VPN DNS servers

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.4-1

I have played around with this some more - the idea with the work VPN
connection is not that it takes over everything, but simply that one
particular IP address gets routed to it - everything else works as normal.

This is why I'm ignoring routes etc, with 'Automatic (VPN) addresses
only' used with the intention of not fiddling with the current DNS
configuration, which is failing.

The workaround is to manually set 'DNS servers' and 'Search domains' to
the normal values outside of the VPN, rather than leaving them blank,
which Network Manager can't seem to cope with.
