Zumbi: please call off the NMU. I'm now in dialog with the maintainer.

Good to hear there is progress with upstream.

Personally I'd rather see a non-rc buggy version in testing before a new
upstream version (potentially with new rc bugs) is introduced to unstable
but i'll let you make the final call as to whether to upload my work.

I've forward ported my changes to the head of your git repo. Patch is 
attatched.

Note that the patch doesn't contain the repack of the upstream tarball. 
(I don't
think diff can represent that). The repacked upstream tarball I prepared is
available from.

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/isc-dhcp/isc-dhcp_4.2.2+dfsg.orig.tar.gz

The repacking process I used was basically

Unpack the isc-dhcp tarball
Unpack the embedded bind tarball
delete contrib/zkt/doc/rfc5011.txt doc/rfc and doc/draft
Repack the embedded bind tarball
delete the unpacked files from the bind tarball
Repack the isc-dhcp tarball
