Bug#156575: Optimising size for dhcp-client-udeb

[Mario Lang <mlang@debian.org>]

Package: dhcp-client
Tags: patch

I've looked a bit at the dhcp-client-udeb building process, and noticed
that /sbin/dhclient is build with -g.

If we use -Os instead, we can save alot of space:

lexx:/tmp/dhcp-2.0pl5/debian% ls -l dhcp-client*/sbin/dhclient
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        84744 Aug 13 22:04 dhcp-client-udeb/sbin/dhclient
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       109320 Aug 13 22:04 dhcp-client/sbin/dhclient

The following very simple patch shows how to achieve this.

It is certainly not perfect, but I'd like to leave it up the the maintainer
of dhcp-client to decide how to really do it.
