Thanks Vicky,

I just wrote another reply describing what I have found out while
investigating this. In short, this seems to only affect some clients and
I'm probably able to configure them to change their behaviour into
something that would work for me. I will look a bit more into it and get
back to you if I find that such a feature still seems legit. It's certain
that KEA does nothing wrong in this case, so this feature would ask it to
refrain from following standards by ignoring the DHCP release package.

All the best,
Johannes
