Unfortunately I have to confirm this. But I think it might not be a netcfg issue but rather the duty of the dhcp-client to make sure the network config is consistent as long the connection is under their supervision, and reverted back to original state when stoping the dhcp-client.
In my case d-i beta3 used dhcp-client (v2). It should probably use dhcp3-client which now got a rewriten dhclient-script. It might already do the necessary updates to /etc/host or leave it just mentioning 127.0.0.1 localhost and change the /etc/host.conf and nsswitch to refer to the dns server before consulting the files. So this bug should probably reassigned to dhcp-client. (Or dhcp3-client, pump or dhcpcd respecively if they even have this problem at all.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
