It seems there's more that don't declare any sort of relationship with dhcp3-client at all. It doesn't detract from the fact that this is a transition, just like any other. I will be doing my best to coordinate with these other package owners, to ensure that they upload new packages after I've uploaded isc-dhcp to unstable. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
