Upon apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade; finishing and a restart of my laptop:

Networking seems to be working just fine now with the exception of my
dns.
For some reason, dhclient didn't replace the older dns information from
the last network I was on. This is curious because it did replace the
information before that with the name servers that are currently in the
file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search gateway.2wire.net
nameserver 172.16.0.1
Manual editing of this file solves the problem but it's required each
time I boot, much like the creation of the /etc/network/ifstate file.
What's the best way to report this as a bug (ie: which package has the
bug?).
I am sure that once I know which package has the bug (I assume the
package is the one that contains the /etc/init.d/networking script) that
I can do the rest.
