Bug#237779: #237779: /etc/hosts is wrong (with dhcp)
Unfortunately I have to confirm this. But I think it might not be a netcfg
issue but rather the duty of the dhcp-client to make sure the network config
is consistent as long the connection is under their supervision, and reverted
back to original state when stoping the dhcp-client.
In my case d-i beta3 used dhcp-client (v2). It should probably use
dhcp3-client which now got a rewriten dhclient-script. It might already do
the necessary updates to /etc/host or leave it just mentioning 127.0.0.1
localhost and change the /etc/host.conf and nsswitch to refer to the dns
server before consulting the files.
So this bug should probably reassigned to dhcp-client. (Or dhcp3-client, pump
or dhcpcd respecively if they even have this problem at all.)
