Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.54
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

Since v4.3, dhclient can comply with RFC 4361 by using some extra options. They
are described in the "man" page of dhclient or this webpage :

https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-01091/0/ISC-DHCP-support-for-Standard-
DDNS.html

These options are : "-I", "-D" and "-df".

Steps to reproduce
==================

 - have a network configuration as the following

auto eth0
iface inet eth0 dhcp
iface inet6 eth0 dhcp

Result
======

 - two "dhclient" processes missing these options

dhclient -v -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases
eth0

dhclient -6 -pf /run/dhclient6.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient6.eth0.leases
eth0

expected result
===============

 - two "dhclient" processes with correct options

dhclient -v -pf /run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases
-I -D LLT -df /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient6.eth0.leases eth0

dhclient -6 -pf /run/dhclient6.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient6.eth0.leases
-I -D LLT -df /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0

Please note that the "-df" option point to the lease file of the *other*
client.

These extra options may be activated with specific keyword in the network
configuration, for example :

auto eth0
iface inet eth0 dhcp-rfc4361
iface inet6 eth0 dhcp-rfc4361

Regards,

Nicolas
