[Bug 246343] [NEW] dhclient.conf should request nis-domain etc. by default

[Paul Smith]

Public bug reported:

I filed a bug against the "nis" package that they don't provide any
dhclient-exit-hooks.d hook scripts to handle nis-domain/nis-servers
/nisplus-domain/nisplus-servers DHCP options:

I also suggested that they need to modify the dhclient.conf script when
nis is installed, so that it adds these options to the "request" field
otherwise those values won't be obtained anyway.  However, thinking
about it now I wonder if it's even possible for another package to
update dhclient.conf, given the Debian/Ubuntu packaging rules.

So, I'm filing this bug asking that these four options be included in
the "request" field by default in the dhclient.conf file provided by
dhcp3-client, so that when the "nis" package provides the proper hook
scripts they will actually be used.

For reference there's a similar request for the ntp-servers DHCP option
here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74164
