I wonder if there might be a way to make this sort of thing directory-based,
similar to that used by xinetd or logrotate? For instance, the ntp package
could provide files defining the options it's interested in and a script to
run with the result, to be placed in /etc/dhcp/client or similar. This would
allow other services to register interest in DHCP options without requiring
hacking of files "owned" by the DHCP packages. This also moves knowledge of
other services' config files out of the DHCP packages.
