Hi, thanks for taking maintaining of dracut-crypt-ssh. Dependency on net-misc/dhcp is mandatory, withoyt dhcp client dracut doesn't add network module, so without dhcp client you can't even uses static network configuration. Look at this, output from dracut with net-misc/dhcp installed: # dracut -H '' -f dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -H -f dracut: dracut module 'bootchart' will not be installed, because command '/sbin/bootchartd' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dash' will not be installed, because command '/bin/dash' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd' will not be installed, because command '/systemd' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-bootchart' will not be installed, because command '/systemd-bootchart' could not be found! dracut: systemd-initrd needs systemd in the initramfs dracut: systemd-networkd needs systemd in the initramfs dracut: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouthd' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouth' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouth-set-default-theme' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'btrfs' will not be installed, because command 'btrfs' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dmraid' will not be installed, because command 'dmraid' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dmsquash-live-ntfs' will not be installed, because command 'ntfs-3g' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'mdraid' will not be installed, because command 'mdadm' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'multipath' will not be installed, because command 'multipath' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'cifs' will not be installed, because command 'mount.cifs' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsistart' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found! dracut: 95nfs: Could not find any command of 'rpcbind portmap'! dracut: dracut module 'biosdevname' will not be installed, because command 'biosdevname' could not be found! dracut: dracut-systemd needs systemd-initrd in the initramfs dracut: dracut module 'dash' will not be installed, because command '/bin/dash' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'btrfs' will not be installed, because command 'btrfs' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dmraid' will not be installed, because command 'dmraid' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dmsquash-live-ntfs' will not be installed, because command 'ntfs-3g' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'mdraid' will not be installed, because command 'mdadm' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'multipath' will not be installed, because command 'multipath' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'cifs' will not be installed, because command 'mount.cifs' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsistart' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found! dracut: 95nfs: Could not find any command of 'rpcbind portmap'! dracut: *** Including module: bash *** dracut: *** Including module: i18n *** dracut: i18n_vars not set!

Also sys-kernel/dracut isn't needed for build time, it can be only runtime dependency.
* the configure script does check for dracut, and fails if it doesn't find it. Since dracut-crypt-ssh is pretty useless without dracut, I see no sense in overriding that, even if it wasn't *actually* needed at compile time. * I was sure that I tested building a static IP image without dhclient available, but I took a look into the network module source, and indeed: it unconditionally depends on dhclient. I'll see to fixing this.
My fault, indeed dracut is needed for compile time.
No problem. I fixed the dependency. As soon as the pull request is accepted the fix will land in portage. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Thus the dependency on net-misc/dhclient is unconditional.
