We have some testing packages that can be obtained by adding Lamont's PPA (sudo apt-add-ppa ppa:lamont/ppa). From local testing this looks to be solving at least the lease renewals. At least for me a normal kill still seems not enough to end the dhclient daemon.

When booting dhclient gets started and acquires an IP address, but it does seem to lock up somewhere as it does not renew the lease. In my environment I set the lease time to 5 minutes, so I notice such things rather soon. I looked on the dhcp server side but saw any further dhcp messages come in from the client side.
