Quoting the original report: "That might cause unnecessary IP changes in
some scenarios, but haven't witnessed any ill effects myself yet."

I have witnessed ill effects. In my case, my ISP's dhcp server provides an 
incorrect dhcp-server-identifier to clients, so I do this in my dhclient.conf 
to fix it:
  supersede dhcp-server-identifier 10.124.192.1;

But, this does not take effect if dhclient cannot save a leases file,
which is the case when the /sbin/dhclient3 symlink exists.

** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 768171
   /sbin/dhclient3 remains after all dhcp3 packages purged
