Only the client and relay are no longer maintained upstream. The server
is still maintained and there is no need to drop it from Debian.
But it is too late to remove isc-dhcp-client from bookworm as well
(IHMO): it would need migration away to alternatives such as systemd-
networkd or NetworkManager, including relevant changes in the installer
and other reverse dependencies.
