And what about NetworkManager users?

Note: it has its own internal DHCP client, but it is not robust on
buggy networks:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933930

And the dhclient hooks are not run:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=966618

So I don't use it.

In particular, in my /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf isc-dhcp-client
configuration file, I have

  prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

to be able to use the local nameserver preferably (the nameservers
provided by the DHCP server are still needed on networks that
filter UDP).
