Sorry for failing to explicitly ack this.  I think that you're right, we
shouldn't expect a third package to know that if they want dhcp support from
initramfs-tools, that this requires isc-dhcp-client.  Either initramfs-tools
should depend on isc-dhcp-client itself, or the dhcp support should be split
out of initramfs-tools into isc-dhcp-client; and either way it shouldn't
really be cloud-init's problem.

In any case, due to this outstanding issue, isc-dhcp-client has NOT been
dropped from the minimal seed for 18.04 and will not be.
