dhcp client that supports hostname request? (udhcpc/dhcpcd/pump)

[Elliot F]

Hello wonderful ubuntu developers,

Let me know if this is better for the users list or not, but are there any plans to move to a dhcp client package that supports hostname request in dhcp via gnome config or /etc/network/interfaces?

If ubuntu moved to dhcpcd/pump/udhcpc dynamic hostname updates would be able to be slipped into ubuntu without having to modify configuration files outside of /etc/network/interfaces, as one has to do with dhcp3-client (/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf).

Are there any plans for ubuntu/gnome support of hostname submission during dhcp?  Am I missing something obvious?
