In light of the following changelog entry, should this report (bug #991360) be reopened?
isc-dhcp (4.2.4-1ubuntu10.2) quantal-proposed; urgency=low
[...]
* Don't set fqdn.fqdn in dhclient.conf as that seems to confuse some DHCP
servers. An alternative would have been to only set fqdn.fqdn and not
host-name, but that appears to confuse another set of servers.
For now go with just host-name which is the most common and if becomes a
big problem for IPv6 (where fqdn.fqdn is apparently required), then we'll
need to have a separate dhclient6.conf file and change all the calls to
dhclient -6 to use that file instead. (LP: #1088682)
