Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-5
I was looking at top for another reason and noticed:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
351 root 9 0 10912 44 44 S 0.0 0.0 0:08 dhcpd-2.2.x
That seems to be a somewhat excessive memory consumption given that this
is a quiet home network and there are only two entries in dhcpd.leases,
both expired.
cat /proc/351/maps produces:

(I'm tracking unstable, and libc has been upgraded recently. Uptime 18 days.)
I've left the process running in case someone wants me to debug it, but I'll
eventually restart the daemon to clean out the swap space.

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/100625 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.
