Dear Maintainer,

ISC has announced the end of life for ISC DHCP as of the end of 2022.
Kea is the recommended successor of the DHCP server. This bug report is
about replacing the DHCP client dhclient. ifupdown-ng recommends
"isc-dhcp-client | dhcp-client".

Discussed on the debian-devel mailing [1], ifupdown will change to
"dhcpcd-base | dhcp-client". Please do the same for ifupdown-ng.
