I asked on #debian @irc.debian.org, and had one positive report of dhcp working fine _without_ CONFIG_FILTER being configured. Note it was a memory recall, but fairly convincing. The suggestion was the network init scripts failed because they were not able to configure the filter. So as AFAICT, Jan isn't going to file any the bugreport, and would ask the people encountering the problems mentioned to chase the bug themselves, for the good of us, the other users.
