[Bug 1094345] Re: IPv6 DHCP record too late, and other irregularities, in resolvconf interface-order

Hmm, are there reasons for preferring either one over the other?

This may be one of those changes where the problems will only become
apparent after a release.

Title:
  IPv6 DHCP record too late, and other irregularities, in resolvconf
  interface-order

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using /etc/network/interfaces rather than NetworkManager on this
  machine. resolvconf is always writing the IPv4 nameservers and search
  domains before the IPv6. I would like the IPv6 resolver information to
  be given priority or a method to select the behavior.

  kjotte at pegasus:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet6 auto
      dhcp 1
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
