Small correction. This was running on a modified branch of lp:~maas-maintainers/maas/packaging. With the original packaging, root owns /var/lib/maas/dhcp/dhcpd.leases:
root@autopkgtest:~# ls -l /var/lib/maas/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 25 05:55 /var/lib/maas/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
DHCP fails in both cases, with identical errors. Chowning it to dhcpd results in the same failure.
