I just set up a clean dapper chroot and upgraded dhcp3-{ common, client} . I did not get a conffile prompt.
$ debdiff dhcp3-client_ 3.0.3-6ubuntu7_ amd64.deb dhcp3-client_ 3.0.6.dfsg- 1ubuntu3_ amd64.deb
Files in second .deb but not in first ------- ------- ------- ------- -- lintian/ overrides/ dhcp3-client script
-------
-rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/
-rw-r--r-- root/root DEBIAN/templates
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /sbin/dhclient-
Files in first .deb but not in second ------- ------- ------- ------- -- dhclient- script
-------
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /etc/dhcp3/
After the upgrade /etc/dhcp3/ dhclient- script does not exist any more, so the upgrade did the right thing.
The preinst/postinst generate a warning about it only if the the md5sum of /etc/dhcp3/ dhclient- script is not one of those: 00aa115716b3da2 ed26 55da5d356bf7dc0 c72c

This could certainly be improved to query dpkg for the original md5sum, but it should be good enough. The latter matches the default file in Ubuntu dapper. If you still experience this, can you please attach your version of dhclient-script?
