For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze8. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4-2. We recommend that you upgrade your isc-dhcp packages.
