I am trying to use dhclient from netconf. This means that I don't
want dhclient-script to take care of configuration. Unfortunately,
the only way to do this right now seems with a dhclient-script which
prints to stdout and reads from stdin:

http://git.debian.org/?p=netconf/netconf.git;a=blob;f=src/dhclient-script.py

This is incredibly silly. Instead, it would rock if dhclient could
be told to simply spit its value pairs to stdout in e.g. rfc822
format, followed by a newline, then read back rfc822 format until it
gets a newline.
