Thanks Thomas, I see that your change has made it to vivid (Ubuntu
15.04).

Could this fix be considered for trusty-updates?

Without it, users of the L2TP plugin are faced with a rather subtle, but
quite undesirable behavior: all DNS queries go to the VPN nameservers,
even if the VPN is not a default route, in which case this could
reasonably be considered a security violation (leaking of private
information, namely all your Internet DNS lookups, no pun intended).

Title:
  nm-l2tp-service needs exception in ppp ip-up/down scripts

Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is an actively maintained NetworkManager L2TP VPN plugin,
  available as an Ubuntu package here: https://launchpad.net/~seriy-
  pr/+archive/ubuntu/network-manager-l2tp. Hopefully it will be a part
  of Ubuntu soon.

  Like nm-pptp-service, it needs an exception in
  /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/000resolvconf (part of the resolvconf package)
  as follows:

  % diff /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/000resolvconf /tmp/resolvconf-1.69ubuntu1.1/debian/resolvconf.000resolvconf.ppp.ip-up
  16c16
  <   nm-l2tp-service-*|nm-pptp-service-*|/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/*)
  ---
  >   nm-pptp-service-*|/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/*)

  Since that's how it works for the PPTP plugin, could we add the L2TP
  one as well so that it can work out of the box on Ubuntu?
