    isc-dhcp is EOL and marked as not security supported. It should not be released with trixie.

    That doesn't mean that it will be remove in trixie.

    So you will support this package?

    While I consider that users of isc-dhcp-{client,server} should migrate
    to alternative implementation, I think it is too late now to ask for the removal of isc-dhcp, being so close to release trixie.

    It is to note that, TTBOMK, there is currently no substitute for isc-dhcp-relay.

    https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#deprecated-components
    reads:

    "The security team will support the isc-dhcp package during the bookworm lifetime, but the package will likely be unsupported in the next stable release, see bug #1035972 (isc-dhcp EOL'ed) for more details."

    That doesn't mean that it will be remove in trixie.

    It's dead. Except for fai-quickstart all reverse dependencies have MRs.
    I am all for getting it removed.

    Cheers
