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...
