OK thanks. Probably I forgot that I havent applied the patch anywhere
when I sent it upstream. Will push a new PPA package soon that should
fix the bug that your manual dns entries are not honoured.

What we are missing for ppp is kind of unclear to me. If anyone has
any ideas let me know. Could be that we are missing yet another
upstream commit in their git ... or the cases we see now are not even
fixed at all.
