I might have missed something but isn't:

No, it's definitely not.
--force-confmiss --force-confnew
are just for file conflicts, which are not handled automatically.
Edit your
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
and try your command. It won't be replaced.
Ah! Ok, so it seems I missread your mail. Yes, this was already filed
as bug #102609, for which Henning Makholm had provided a really simple
patch, that I've now merged (after little shoehorning into the current
code). It adds a new --force-confask, which can optionally be combined
with either --force-confnew and --force-confmiss:

And the new functional test for it:
