And it also erases non-IPv6 DNS servers that were present in that file before. Right now, this package got installed by default on a Jessie GNOME desktop and it really interacts badly with NetworkManager which was handling the file perfectly fine (i.e. it included already the IPv6 DNS servers identified by rdnsd). I believe that it should do something saner instead of overwriting. It should verify if the file contains the DNS servers it detected and add them if they are missing. But it should definitely not blindly overwrite the file... Thus increasing the severity to make sure it gets fixed for Jessie.
