Right, it's not (yet?) tagged for provides/dhcp-client but at home
would probably do the trick for me, too. Alternatively there's dhcpcd5,
which is tagged and also specifically mentioned on the ISC's eom-page,
though apparently a much broader solution. I'll be using the
legacy one until it's actually removed from Debian and then switch to
whatever is recommended, if anything and provided it's not networkd.
