Please update udhcp from debian

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

The current udhcp code is ancient (>5 years old) because at that time they moved the codebase to busybox and it's been maintained there since.

Please do what debian did, i.e. drop the current udhcp package and import the new one from debian that builds from the busybox source:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/udhcpc
http://packages.debian.org/sid/source/busybox

That will also fix a lot of bugs in the current (= 5 year old) udhcp package, e.g. LP #563056, LP #505916 etc.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I've also removed the stale udhcp source package from maverick now.

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

Thank you Colin, the new udhcp package works fine for LTSP, the old package shouldn't be needed anywhere.
