Bug#740080: netcfg: dhcp/rdns domain name overrides netcfg/get_domain



Package: netcfg
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

Much like netcfg/get_hostname, a manually preseeded netcfg/get_domain is overridden by DHCP. 

This is similar to #544513.

For the hostname a second debconf key is available to force the hostname to that value, but for domain this value does not appear to exist. That makes it impossible to preseed a domainname when installing in a network that provides one, when it is different from what it should be. For example when installing a server destined for a datacenter or customer while in one's office. This then causes problems with for example preseeding a puppet installation.

Either preseeded netcfg/get_domain values should take precedence over anything gathered from the network, or a separate key should be provided that does.
