Kyle, your /etc directory is not actually gone.

On darwin/Mac OS X, /etc is actually a symbolic link to /private/etc.
So if you do:
  cd /; sudo ln -s private/etc .
everything will be back to normal.

The reason this happened is that your dhcp package had the directory "/etc"
in the .deb file (as I warned you on the package submission tracker).
When you removed it, dpkg removed /etc...since this was a symlink, only
the symlink was removed.  No warning needed, because the thing being
removed WAS empty.

Anyway, this should be a warning to all of us to be careful about what
goes in the .deb file.  When I am testing a new package, I always
build it before installing, and then run "dpkg --contents foo.deb" to
see what is there before I install.
