Bug#121896: O: pump -- pump is broken and should be removed from woody

[Steve Dunham <dunham@cse.msu.edu>]

Package: wnpp

I'm orphaning pump.. It has issues on machines with two interfaces and
machines with Full NAT enabled.  On top of that, there is crap like

   while(1);

in the source code.  IMHO, it's not worth fixing, dhcp-client works
fine.  (It looks like the only safe way to send out the right packets
is to build them manually from the IP layer up, and pump doesn't do
that.)

I'd like to recommend that pump be removed from woody, and dhcp-client
"Replaces" pump, if there is no objection.
