Subject: dhcp3-client: Does not send hostname to server by default

Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0+3.0.1rc9-2
Severity: normal

(This also applies to dhcp-client)

In order to get server-side dynamic DNS updates to work, you need to
add "send host-name "hostname";" to the configuration file for dhclient.
Most other clients seem to default to sending the hostname (including pump
and the MS client). There's also no documentation which mentions that this
might be necessary, as far as I could find - only comments about the
somewhat rarer case of client-side dynamic DNS. And if it needs to go in
the configuration file that's one more thing to remember when the hostname
changes...
