Hi,

I can confirm the original report, though I noticed it
through a different vector...  The dns-nameservers
option in /etc/network/interfaces now seems to be
a complete no-op, regardless of the order.

(and somehow in my fiddling to try and diagnose that,
the dns-search option I had there appears to have
become a permanent part of my resolv.conf and is
no longer removed if I ifdown the (static) interface
it is listed for)

... hmm, I see from the changelog that the 127.*
thing is deliberate.  I wonder if that is what we
really want.  In my case at least, I wanted the host
to fall back to an alternate server if the local
one was temporarily unavailable.

That doesn't explain why dns-nameservers doesn't
work any more though ...  unless it is that bind
on the same machine already adds the 127.* entry
before it is run...

The "law of least surprise" seems to be somewhat
in tatters if this all really is a result of that
change.  But perhaps I'm missing part of the bigger
picture.

best,
Ron
