But, since 4.2 alpha was just released in December, and Debian doesn't

Squeeze if at all possible.
So, perhaps now that upstream's preferred solution is known, it'd be
okay to backport that change to the DHCP version currently in Debian, so
that squeeze can have the fix? I suspect it *WOULD* be completely
trivial to backport, if ISC's CVS repository wasn't behind a $200
pay-wall (Seriously!!!!!!!!!). But, even without being able to just
merge the single commit, I think just grepping for expr_gethostname and
copying everything about that is likely to be all that's needed.
If you're amenable to releasing a dhcp3-client with such a backport, I
can take a shot at extracting out such a patch...(although, perhaps you
have access to upstream's source repo and it'd be easier for you?)
Nice!
If that's not possible, maybe adding the new syntax to the existing
Ubuntu patch (I assume it's send host-name "gethostname()";) shouldn't
be hard.
