I tried dhcp-client 3.0 beta from experimental on hppa, and it
fixed this problem. Size is likely to be a problem though. For
hppa, version 2 is 123K, version 3 is 519K. On ia64 the version 3
binary was 1.6M, but I assume that was due to some build problem!
All that is needed to make version 2 work is for the links in /etc/rc?d
to start/stop dhcp-client to be removed. I did hack my debootstrap
to do that at the end of install at one time, and it worked fine.
Never tried pump on ia64 or hppa.
