[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#799605: Please default to internal DHCP client

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal

Since version 1.0, NetworkManager includes its own internal DHCP client
code, which can obtain an address far faster than dhclient.  Please
consider making this the default.  Users who need more esoteric features
specific to dhclient can always configure NetworkManager to use dhclient
via /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf .
