In fact, »dhclient -v /dev/eth0« also seems to work fine (but the
setsockopt error remains; not fatal apparently).

To resolve this, apply the following patch:

--- /etc/network/interfaces~	2011-05-20 19:46:45.000000000 +0200
+++ /etc/network/interfaces	2012-07-13 12:34:40.000000000 +0200
@@ -6,5 +6,5 @@
 iface lo inet loopback
 
 # The primary network interface
-auto eth0
-iface eth0 inet dhcp
+auto /dev/eth0
+iface /dev/eth0 inet dhcp

Remaining (likewise non-fatal, as it seems) issue: »can't create
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient./dev/eth0.leases: No such file or directoy«, which
is only seen during boot, but not when running dhclient manually.
Obviously using /dev/eth0 instead of eth0 is the culprit here.
