One correction here is that the problem I have is with the DHCP server
not the DHCP client.

I used the one installed by the boot floppies which I assume to be
the same as kernel-image-2.2.17-pmac_2.2.17pre11-2.deb. I will build

and better understand if Debian keeps the official config file as
similar as possible across architectures.
