[Bug 987915] Re: Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

[Clint Byrum]

Wouldn't it make sense though to mention commonly used options and/or
plugins in the SEE ALSO section of 'man interfaces'? Or perhaps be more
vague in SEE ALSO 'Plugins may add options such as dns-* and such,
please see {directory X} for a list of plugins you have installed.'

Title:
  Man page doesn't reflect major architectural changes w/ resolvconf

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  According to the blog post linked in the change logs for 12.04:

  * http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/

  /etc/network/interfaces is the place to put numerous dns declarations.

  "I use static IP configuration, where should I put my DNS configuration?
  The DNS configuration for a static interface should go as “dns-nameservers”, “dns-search” and “dns-domain” entries added to the interface in /etc/network/interfaces"

  However, `man 5 interfaces` makes no mention of dns-nameservers dns-
  search or dns-domain. Perhaps this should be documented.
