It was forwarded a long time ago, but it's apparently been ignored.
Upstream is quite opaque, so who knows what the deal is.

As seen in #695810 (merged with #486520), ifupdown switched to calling
dhclient with the -1 option, and in past releases it had not, so it is
now a more prevalent problem. Although sure severity is questionable,
and I'm not willing to exert much effort to include it. I'll remove
if that's what is wanted.
Best wishes,
Mike
