Gah, so apparently nobody respects the RFCs as usual...

In short, fqdn.fqdn can be partly qualified according to the RFC, but not 
according to the ISC implementation, so we can't just put the hostname in there.
host-name and fqdn.fqdn can't be set at the same time according to the RFC, 
though according to the ISC implementation, they can.

So the only way to be RFC and ISC compliant is to avoid setting
fqdn.fqdn and only setting host-name, which will possibly cause DHCPv6
not to send the hostname... Only way around then would be the separate
config file.

I'm going to go with unsetting fqdn.fqdn for now in the dev release and
will look at how much work it'd be to split the config into
dhclient.conf and dhclient6.conf. That's after all what we're already
doing for dhcpd and will avoid any similar problem in the future.
