* ifupdown does not work with 'dhcp' interfaces when dhcp is
installed. It then selects dhclient and execs something like this
command:

dhclient -e -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0

I just found out that the line could be correct since we have a dhcp
3.x in our grimoire. The line for dhclient3 is correct except it expects
binary name to be dhclient3.

Okay, but i still have to ask: What to do? Upgrade dhcp?

Is there an upstream bug to have this fixed? If not, we could patch iptables to work with dhclient3, unless a newer version already has this.
