However, we would be willing to accept a patch that adds a single string option that allows to specify one network interface on which DHCP should be used. It would basically add "inet dhcp" to /etc/network/interfaces if non-empty, and otherwise do nothing. The default should be nothing, so that we keep the existing behavior.
