I suspect its always been giving out 60 second leases (possibly via the ISP) - that in itself is not a problem. But I would certainly like to cut down on the logging. Filtering without removing wanted messages (like changes in IP - the ISP uses dynamic IP - prob why its 60 second leases I guess) There is still the question - why is the new dhcpcd so verbose.

Re: [gentoo-user] dhcpcd is too noisy in syslog
You can also try to add the following to your /etc/conf.d/net: dhcpcd_eth0=( "-l 3600" ) together with any previous flags you are using. With this, dhcpcd will recommend a lease time of 3600 seconds to the server. -- Fabio A. Correa D.

I would guess that your dhcpcd is doing the right thing. Who owns the dhcp server? Is it yours? How is it set up? Is it a PC or off the shelf box? I would be looking there for the answer.

I couldn't see a 'quiet' mode for dhcpcd, but you could always try
filtering out dhcpcd messages from syslog. Here's an example, but
don't hold it against me if you have to tweak it a bit.
# /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
# we will filter out dhcpcd messages
source src ( unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages");};
filter dhcpcd_filter { not program("dhcpcd"); };
log { source(src); filter(dhcpcd_filter); destination(messages); };
