You need to have a DHCP client installed, but ifup should take
responsibility for running it for you. Either of the packages you
suggest should be fine; I generally use dhcp3-* because it's newer and
shinier, but that's not a terribly good reason. :-) Other than that,
it looks like you have done the necessary configuration and things
should Just Work.
