My bad.
It was not the "lease" stanza what you had to edit. I overlooked the
"dhclient.conf" file but "man dhclient.conf" confirmed the lease is used
when the client cannot connect to an existing DHCP server, which is not
your case :-)
And from man page I can't see an option which you can configure from the
client side to define a renewal interval... hum.

I usually have several devices that can act as DHCP servers but well, if
you only have a router available you can install a DHCP server (or run a
LiveCD with DHCP server configured) in a separate computer... unless you
only have one computer in such case no DHCP server is needed at all :-P
