Hello! I've also faced the bug. And it's also mentioned here: http://blog.schlomo.schapiro.org/2013/11/setting-hostname-from-dhcp-in-debian.html .
It's caused incorrect if in file /sbin/dhclient-script
I've made a patch that fixed the issue for me:

}
Will be glad if debian includes it in a package resolving the issue.
With best regards, Ivan.
