It had certainly better not! If you see something doing that, ensure that a serious bug is filed. > Instead of that, alter the file /etc/default/dhcp. That's good advice, but /etc/default files are provided for convenience to make the job of merging changes to /etc/init.d scripts easier. They are emphatically *not* an excuse for upgrades to overwrite changes made directly in /etc/init.d, and if people want to do the latter then they're quite entitled to go ahead.
