Title:
unnecessary dependency upon isc-dhcp-client
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
with xenial-updates, there is suddenly a dependency [isc-dhcp-client]
not previously there. please mark this as
recommends/suggests/enhances instead of as a depends, as it is not
critical to the core functionality of the software. since ubuntu now
defaults to installing recommends unless configured otherwise, this
compromise accommodates both the unskilled users as well as those who
know what they are doing and have disabled automatic installation of
suggested packages.
