Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0.4-10
Severity: normal

Anyone doing DDNS needs to send a hostname as pump can. Becuase of other 
dependencies we need to run dhcp3-client. The only way to pass a host 
name is to list it as a string. 

I tried:
         "$HOSTNAME"
         `echo $HOSTNAME`
         $HOATNAME
with various surprising results.

I think one should be able to change the hostname on a computer with just 
one config file.
