Ok I'm a little wary of how DHCP is actually supported in Ubuntu.

We have:

* dhcpcd
* pump
* dhcp3-client aka /sbin/dhclient source: dhcp3
* dhcp-client also /sbin/dhclient from source: dhcp

The dhcp client used in the Debian installer (and Ubuntu's) is:
dhcp-client-udeb_2.0pl5-19.4_i386.udeb
From source: dhcp

Although there is dhcp3-client-udeb after looking in the dhcp3 source package.
It looks like dhcp3-client-udeb

So perhaps this bug is filed against the wrong source package? It should be just dhcp. And nahs, you need to ensure your script works with the Debian installed ideally.

To add to the confusion, I *think* that once Ubuntu is installed dhcp3-client is used as the default dhcp client.

I'm grepping the seed and yes it looks like the case:

 perry$ egrep dhcp *
 installer: * dhcp-client-udeb
 minimal: * dhcp3-client # LaMontJones
 supported: * dhcp3-server
 supported: * dhcp3-dev
