I have read those at least three times from chapter 1 to 7 while making my own 
notes about what was really important for me. Just checked again, nothing about 
the dhcp server changes.

There is indeed a change log for each package, but I cannot find that kind of 
information. I can see a change log for the isc-dhcp-server but the only thing 
in there about dhcpd.conf is something from 2006.

Maybe someone can update the change log for the dhcp system to reflect the 
change in config file location. Fortunately I do not to much different packages 
on our systems so there are not too many packages to check.
