The only issue AFAIK is size.

For i386           Package      Installed
dhcp-client-udeb      40            132
dhcp3-client-udeb    145            396

For sparc          Package      Installed
dhcp-client-udeb      43            176
dhcp3-client-udeb    150            608

For ia64           Package      Installed
dhcp-client-udeb      70            352
dhcp3-client-udeb    268           1356

As you can see a factor 3-4 larger. This is especially bad for floppy 
based installation.
