The mail was originally meant for debian-devel, it was a genuine mistake :) (yet, debian-qa would've been more appropriate than debian-devel itself -- and, knode doesn't let me set Followup-To/Reply-To, could someone please do that?).

Does pump have anything you can't do with udhcpc? As also Paul pointed out, upstream development has stopped, so maintaining it would be a burden for DebianQA -- or anyone stepping in for it.
