Looking at debian/rules, I currently install the package with the
following overrides:
# Avoid starting the unconfigured service as it may break connectivity.
override_dh_installinit:
dh_installinit --name=dhcpcd --no-start
override_dh_installsystemd:
dh_installsystemd --name=dhcpcd --no-start
dh_installsystemd --name=dhcpcd@ --no-start
The manual for both dh_scripts says that --no-start will update the
files but neither stop or start the services (which is expected for a
DHCP client: the connection must remain during the upgrade). This is
apparently not the case. The additions made by the helpers stop the
service (oops!) and never restart it (oops again!).
