Maybe that is what it *wants* to say, but what I read is on my Woody
box is "This method may be used to obtain an address via DHCP with any
of the tools: dhclient, pump (2.2.x kernels only), or dhcpcd."

I was surprised to see the statement myself. It seems that some one
who knows this to be a bug should probably report it unless it has
been fixed in sarge or something (I did not see this reported on a
cursory examination, I don't use pump).

Cheers!
