When I shut down a machine with jessie, the dhcp server gets a release request. But then it refuses to release the lease and logs an error that the IP address answers a ping after sending a release request. This is GNU/kFreeBSD 10.0-1-amd64 #0 Tue, 20 May 2014 12:47:21 +0100 x86_64 amd64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2635QM CPU @ 2.00GHz GNU/kFreeBSD running Debian GNU/kFreeBSD testing (jessie). This happens every shutdown or reboot. The machine probably should not respond to a ping (for whatever reasons) after sending a release request to the dhcp server.
