Bug Description

When installing MAAS the administrator should be presented with a choice from apt to automatically configure the host's nameserver configuration in /etc/resolv.conf to point to the local MAAS DNS server.

This would allow a better workflow when using MAAS and Juju.

Juju requires nameserver resolution via MAAS to be working before you can use juju to contact nodes in a MAAS provider environment. This should therefore be easily done without having to manually edit the DNS nameserver configuration for the host.

A choice to the administrator should be presented where she can choose to either automatically modify the hosts nameservers to point to the MAAS DNS server, or to be left as is.

This won't help you much. The resolv.conf needs to be set on the host that is running the juju client, not the maas server host(s). They may or may not be the same.
