Dear isc-dhcp maintainers.

I am sorry to bother you again about this issue. Maybe this bug has not
been closed yet due to lack of time, most people are very busy with
everyday life. As seen below, the patch for GNU/Hurd for isc-dhcp was
promised to appear in the latest release. Unfortunately it was not.

The patch is of very large importance for GNU/Hurd since until now the
architecture is not supported. Additionally, the Debian maintainer is
reluctant to include this patch due to that a non-trivial amount of code
is changed, and there are two new configuration files included too. The
patch submitted to Debian bug #616290 in 3 March 2011 to 4.1.1-P1-17 and
forwarded upstream, applies without problems also for the new release,
4.2.2-1, from 10 August 2011.

Thanks!
