Starting with Trixie, dhcpcd-base replaces isc-dhcp-client as the default DHCP client used by ifupdown. The key difference is that dhcpcd handles both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, so /etc/network/interfaces doesn't require separate inet and inet6 lines.

See /usr/share/doc/dhcpcd-base/NEWS.Debian.gz for details.
