Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When specifying the hostname in /etc/network/interfaces, dhcpc issues the
following warning:
option -h NAME is deprecated, use -x hostname:NAME
Example /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hostname "myhostname"
Note dhcpc still send the correct parameters to the dhcp server, however it
would be nice if the warning was removed by updating the debian ifup scripts

0.8.44 uses -x hostname:..., was probably fixed earlier.
