the recent update to dhcp-client at least as far as the changelog
notes; does not remote that useless and broken initscript so this
problem will probably still exist perhaps reassign instead of close.

just a comment on that initscript, AFAICT from the bug entries the
ONLY reason its still there is for slink or very old potato upgrades
where /etc/network/interfaces is not used.  you don't need to keep
that initscript in the package to accomplish this since its a conffile
removing it from the package will NOT remove it from people systems on
upgrades.  

so remove it from the package in woody and new installs (which don't
ever need it) will not get this useless and broken script, old
upgrades still using it will be unaffected since it won't be removed.
