Pulling the plug on isc-dhcp-client was not a nice move of ISC in the first place. I can understand why isc-dhcp-server was replaced by kea, but deprecating the client was, well, an unfriendly act. While there are numerous alternative implementations of DHCP client, the Linux world seems to be without a working DHCP relay implementation in those days. That's REALLY bad for an installation with Linux routers.
