This is because dhclient-script (client/scripts/linux) is not 
installed..they broke it.

/var/log/daemon.log:May 27 06:12:05 name25 dhclient: execve 
(/etc/dhclient-script, ...): No such file or directory

I never wrote a service script to test, so only from command line, but 
it appears to work.  Patch will be in the repo in a few, while it says 
submitted, it won't be for a few days.  I'm going to work up a client 
and client-install target in the top level, and fix the client 
installation to install the script again (3 separate patches) before I 
send upstream.  Should probably check to make sure it isn't already 
reported first, but it can wait till tomorrow.

Anyway, for now, this is *really* ugly but is the minimum work for the 
computer (not the user) for a client only installation.  It's probably 
better just to build everything and only install the client, but 
hopefully they'll accept a patch to build and install only the client:

patch -Np1 -i ../dhcp-4.0.0-iprote2-1.patch &&
./configure --prefix= --mandir=/usr/share/man &&
make -C common &&
make -C minires &&
make -C dst &&
make -C omapip &&
make -C client &&
sudo make -C common install &&
sudo mv /usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-eval.5 \
    /usr/share/man/man5/dhclient-eval.5 &&
sudo mv /usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-options.5 \
    /usr/share/man/man5/dhclient-options.5 &&
sudo sed -e 's at dhcp-options@dhclient-options at g' \
         -e 's at dhcp-eval@dhclient-eval at g' \
         -i /usr/share/man/man5/dhclient-{eval,options}.5 &&
sudo make -C client install &&
sudo install -m700 client/scripts/linux /etc/dhclient-script


Might also want to add --sysconfdir=/etc/dhclient to the configure 
command line, and of course, move the script appropriately.
