Well, it is a bug in Debian Edu that the problem is obscure and hard to
debug.  I guess the issue should be detected and reported in the face of
the person trying to set up a new machine, instead of the machine
silently failing to keep its IP address

Sure. But then this seems to be a site specific non-standard use case,
so site specific modification could be sufficient, I figure.

A workaround has been proposed to the customer (create system entries in GOsa²). So, that customer problem is indeed solved.

Fixing it for bookworm would be good, though.

I'll take a look at that. Once the change is available as a patch, I'll get more feedback regarding adding the fixing to the next bullseye-pu.

Traditionally it was required to register clients in GOsa to ensure
home directories could be mounted, not for it to get an IP address.

Yes, that's still the case.

Nope, see my previous mail about NFSv4+krb5i.

I'm just wondering about the reported 30 minutes. It seems to be the
default lease time on the backbone network (1800). Maybe raise it to a
site specific value? (Can't test it, can't contribute more for the time
being.)

Yep, the network interfaces lease time expires and then the IP address is dropped by the kernel (it seems). Renewal via dhclient (if it was still running) would reset the NIC's lease timer and make the IP in place long-term.
