1) I've overlooked udphcpc is compiled into initramfs-tools' busybox
2) I've tried (roughly) this afternoon to use udhcpc, it just says it's missing
some script. Gotta look deeper into this when I've some spare time...

I know...but dhclient3 requires these commands to be available as real
binaries, not just as busy-box commands, otherwise it complains and ceases
functioning. Of course, this issue will be obsolete as soon as I have udhcpc
working.
