...the reason was that udhcpc doesn't do DHCPv6, and for DHCP I
started with udhcpc, then wanted to add a bit of diversity (udhcpc in
tests for pasta, dhclient for passt) -- it helped to find some bugs
earlier on.

Given that dhclient is anyway pickier than udhcpc, I think we can
safely stick to the former at this point.
