Please explain which part of the policy is violated.
This editing of /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf has not happened in the
maintainer scripts, but only because the user instructed wicd via one
of its user interfaces to do so. That's a feature, not a bug.
>From my point of view this puts wicd in the same position as any file
or configuration editor and hence can't be a policy violation --
because otherwise vim or emacs would be a huge policy violation, too.
Hence closing this bug report.
Regards, Axel
