As just discussed on #debian-boot with Otavio, the busybox udeb's
udhcpc (special default.script for the udeb by Otavio) does not set
the metric either, so we should be able to safely drop it, yes.

In the meanwhile I indeed found some more occurrences of this
bashism -- and now I also remember from where that code originates:
Our default.script is mainly based on the scripts in busybox'
examples/udhcpc/ directory. Those are though not part of the binary
packages as we ship our own default.script.
Will send an appropriate patch for the example scripts to upstream,
too.
Hope to find time to create the new patches either late this evening
or tomorrow.
Regards, Axel
