I think you have the correct version of the config file installed.
During the Lenny development cycle we (as in Debian Edu) switched from
the plain text config file to LDAP based configuration for the dhcpd.
The dhcpd now reads, thanks to a patch included in the Debian package,
the config data from LDAP. All you should find in dhcpd.conf is the
configuration of how the dhcpd can access the LDAP tree.
With LWAT you should be able to add and manage the hosts of your
network. Adding a host now also adds LDAP entries for dns and dhcp. This
way you can skip the step of modifying the dhcpd.conf after changing
LDAP accordingly.

If you need/want the old config file, used in Etch, you can find it in
our svn tree though WebSVN here:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-edu/tags/src/debian-edu-config/1.416%2Bsvn39964/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd-debian-edu.conf
Hope this helps, and please report any problems you have with the new
LDAP based dhcp configuration.
Regards,
Daniel
