[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#561532: network-manager: No option to send hostname when using DHCP

[alex]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: normal

It would be very useful to be able to send the hostname when using DHCP,
as it would allow addressing the box with its name when using a proper
DHCP/DNS combination.
