Bug#1055167: Network interface lost IP when lease expired after switching from isc-dhcp-client

[Larsen <larsen007@web.de>]

Package: udhcpc
Version: 1:1.35.0-4+b3

After switching from isc-dhcp-client to udhcpc (apt purge isc-dhcp-client
udhcpc+), when the DHCP lease expired, the network interface didn't get a
new IP, pushing the server offline (luckily I had a remote console to fix
the problem). The package was installed via Puppet and I didn't notice
that this doesn't run needrestart (or at least doesn't restart services
with our configuration). I now use the workaround to "needrestart -r a"
after installing the package with Puppet.

IMHO needrestart shouldn't be needed, but instead the package should take
care of such a situation.
