Public bug reported:

Despite the fix in 2012 (bug #991360) the default configuration shipped
with isb-dhcp-client /etc/dhclient.conf in 2021 still does not set the
DHCPv6 hostname option by default. All it needs is:

# send host-name with DHCPv6 not just DHCPv4
send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname();

Without this option it causes dhcpy6d's dynamic DNS update (to bind9) to
fail because the hostname is empty.

** Affects: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:
