+  09 Jul 2009; <chainsaw@gentoo.org> +dhcp-3.1.2.ebuild, +dhcp-4.1.0.ebuild,
+  +files/dhcp-4.1-dhclient-metric.patch, +files/dhcp-4.1-no_isc_blurb.patch,

+  Version bump to 3.1.2 & 4.1.0 upstream releases, as requested in bug
+  #264809. Create /var/lib/dhclient as per bug #222261. Recursive chown to
+  dhcp:dhcp closes bug #236671. Test config in init-script, apache-style by
+  Arturas from Lithuania in bug #259364. Paranoia/chroot support now
+  upstream in 4.1, dropped patch.

Your bug report to Gentoo Linux is highly appreciated. I'm sorry it sat in the tracker unactioned for quite so long, it was not assigned to the maintainer.
