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.
