   * debian/patches/deroot-client.patch:
     - Always write the PID file before dropping privileges. (Ubuntu #10803)
   * Added debian/patches/dhclient-running_stale_pids.patch:
     - Always check for an already existing PID file, not only in release mode.
     - Remove the PID also if the previous process does not exist any more
       (stale PID file).
     - Added some log_info() statements.
     - This should now make it really hard to get multiple clients for the same
       interface at the same time. (related to Debian #178885)

This should be fixed with above version. Please complain loudly and reopen if
you still have problems.
