Bug Description
Debian has recently updated its isc-dhscp package with the latest upstream. It might be useful for Ubuntu to sync.
This ISC DHCP will be upstream's very last release as they are retiring the codebase and focusing their efforts on a brand new DHCP server. Support will still be offered for the server for a while.
Meanwhile, the client and relay are no longer supported. Upstream recommends migrating to other clients and relays.
Debian has recently updated its package of dhcpcd to the latest upstream. The binary target "dhcpcd-base" works well as a drop-in replacement for dhclient on systems that boot using ifupdown. Ubuntu might wanna consider migrating to that now that ISC dhclient has been deprecated upstream.

Ubuntu has 4.4.3-P1-2ubuntu2 and therefore is in sync with Debian.
We are working on replacing dhclient with dhcpcd from dhcpcd-base. I am in the process of replacing it in initramfs-tools and there are subtle differences which needs more changes than just a command replacement. I created bug #2024164 as tracking ticket.
