Very quick note without checking the whole bug log or actual history…

    Package: netcfg
    Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends},
    […]
            isc-dhcp-client-udeb [kfreebsd-any hurd-any],

which would match my vague recollection: this was only ever a non-Linux
port thing, while udhcpc (found in busybox-udeb) is used on Linux.

Dropping would lgtm.


Cheers,
