Well, right now we're in the freeze stage of squeeze and whatever
different dhcp client alternative could be an option, besides having
to proberly rewrite several lines of code inside the initramfs
scripts (don't forget the scripts that aren't part of
initramfs-tools itself) the switch might (and very probably would)
bring up new problems and behaviour changes. That's nothing I can
propose until squeeze is out.

Thanks to the work by Julien BLACHE the situation of klibc-utils
improved a lot with package version 1.5.20-1. If anyone still
notices any problems WRT DHCP stuff in initramfs that's something we
can and should address right now, but a switch isn't a good and
valid option for now IMO.
