If you want the box to get the same address every time, you'll need to configure the DHCP server to give a reserved address to this box based on this box's MAC layer (hardware) address. I do this on my LAN. Just to clarify, this isn't something you can configure on the Debian client system; the DHCP server has to be instructed to reserve a specific address for a specific MAC address. How to do this will depend on the specific DHCP implementation. On my Netgear home router, for example, there's a section somewhere (I'm not on my home LAN now) in the web interface that allows one to set up a table of MAC addresses associated with reserved IP addresses.
