The only possible issue that I can see is that the introduction of this
virtual package would leave no way to depend specifically on the ISC DHCP
client 2.x, which is currently named dhcp-client.
There are several packages in sid which reference dhcp-client, but after
examining them, none of them appear to need this specific client, and would
be better off depending on a dhcp-client virtual package. So this seems to
be a non-issue in Debian at this point, unless someone who knows better
speaks up.
