I reconfigured a Lenny box with a static IP address and then removed
dhcp3-common.  Everything worked like a charm, but then about a week later
I was surprised when the IP address changed, which caused some problems.

I then realized that dhclient was still running even tough I uninstalled
it a week before.

I think that dhclient should be killed when dhcp3-client is uninstalled,
but without releasing the leased IP and without touching the actual routing
configuration (to avoid losing the network and in case it would have been
manually reconfigured just before uninstalling the package).

If there is some reasons for the current behaviour, then at least please
explain and document it in the man page and in /usr/share/doc/dhcp3-client/

Thank you,
