Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.4-42 Followup-For: Bug #246621 Attached to this mail is a suggested patch to dhclient that adds a switch -x that can be used instead of -r when bringing down a DHCP interface.
The patch makes sure to kill the currently running client and then goes about its business similar to -r but instead of relinquishing the lease it merely calls the script with STOP and then exits. I know this patch probably belongs tagged to the dhcp3 package, but since this is the bug I want to have fixed it feels like the appropriate place. Let the discussion continue...
