Bug Description
Binary package hint: dhcp3-client
dhclient-script(8) claims that:
On after defining the make_resolv_conf function, the client script checks for the presence of an executable /etc/dhclient-
However, this is utterly wrong with the ubuntu setup; it actually executes any and all scripts in /etc/dhcp3/
The manpages should be rewritten to use the directory and not the single script name; I imagine the same thing needs to be done for the enter scripts, too.

It's not really wrong, /etc/dhclient- enter-hooks is really executed if present. However, /etc/dhcp3/ dhclient- exit-hooks. d/* scripts are *also* executed, and putting scripts there is preferred over a single monolithic one. So the documentation should just be clarified.
