There are a number of different dhcp clients in Debian; dhclient3, dhclient, and pump are three that come to mind immediately. Theoretically, all of them should always work, but I've sometimes seen cases where one or another would fail in a particular network. ifupdown will pick a DHCP client using a built-in order of preference (see interfaces(5)). You can override this by adding a "client" line to the interface configuration: for instance, it sounds like "client dhclient" might help your situation.
