dhcpcd-sv is only a client program. All that really needs to be done
is to add the init scripts and update the program to the latest
upstream version. You can find the current package in ~dunham on
master.
If you can, try to keep the patches to "buildmsg.c", it makes the
program work without crashing on the Sparc (and probably Arm)
architecture.
The upstream site is listed in the copyright file.
