[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#855910: network-manager: Network Manager doesn't set default gw over DHCP

[Michal Kašpar]

Hi.
Indeed, returning to 1.6.0 fixed the problem for me. I investigated the
 upstream bug and it seems there is a workaround. The request gets
masked only if /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf contains any request directive.
The default debian one does, but after commenting it out, the
NetworkManager works fine. It's not an option if there is some valid
reason to have request directive in the configuration file, but for
simple setups this might be the solution.
I've commented the upstream a bit so maybe it will be fixed there.
