Bug#862745: netcfg incorrectly defaults hostname to DHCPv6-provided NTP server address



Control: severity -1 important
Control: found -1 1.90

Hi Malcolm,

Malcolm Scott <debbugs@malc.org.uk> (2017-05-16):

Oh wow…

Yeah, not only did we use the wrong index, but with a ++ to make sure,
and dhcp_hostname is the next field in the structure, so spot on!

Thanks, pushed an updated package to unstable, and cherry-picked the fix
on the jessie branch for a later point release. Marking it as affecting
the version where the offending commit was first included.
