It's not out of date, dhcpcd-0.70 and dhcpcd-1.3.16 are different
programs (the latter was rewritten and only runs on experimental
kernels). I packaged dhcpcd-1.3.7 as "dhcpcd-sv-1.3.7" but never got
around to working out the last details before uploading it (the
package doesn't have any init scripts.) The "sv" is from the author's
initials.
If nobody takes the dhcpcd-sv package, I'll try to release it ASAP,
but I have three projects due RSN.
When I last checked, the dhcp-* stuff didn't work with recent kernels.
