Package: dhcp-client
Version: 2.0pl5-19.4
Severity: normal
#272942 talks about sending the hostname to the DHCP server by default;
this is a much more limited problem.
If you set a hostname explicitly in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname whatever
dhclient completely ignores the directive. You have to edit
/etc/dhclient.conf and add
send host-name "whatever";
instead.
dhclient should honour this interface setting.
