Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-19
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

as far as I can tell. Having it in -h help and the man page would be

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/256705 in Debian BTS
against the package dhcp. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/446386. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
