Package: dhcdbd
Version: 2.8-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Upgrading to dhcdbd 2.8 (from 2.0) causes network configuration to fail.
In particular, dhcbd is no longer publishing DNS or gateway/route information:

Running 'pump' on this interface works fine, showing that this isn't a DHCP
error on my side:

When network-manager doesn't receive gateway information, it uses the
bootServer field as the default router, which obviously fails to work
in most cases.
