Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.92
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6 patch
Dear Maintainer,
When using dhcpcd-base, as is now default with ifupdown, the resolvers
discovered via DHCP are placed above those from RDNSS.
It appears that somewhere along the line dhcpcd changed the filenames used to
render this information.
Namely, DHCP discovered information is written to ${interface}.dhcp and RDNSS
information is written to ${interface}.ra
Since these patterns are not called out in the interface-order file, it falls
through to the glob at the end of the file,
and 'dhcp' comes before 'ra' in alpha sorting.

The simplest solution would be to include patterns for '.ra' near their inet6
counterparts.
I have included a patch for this that produces the desired result on my system.

However, I think this file is ripe for a larger cleanup effort.
Not only has dhcpcd apparently changed its output format, pump hasn't been a
thing in many years.
