[Voyage-linux] 0.8.0: pppd still missing, other utils

[Gustin Johnson]

If you really need all that extra stuff (why would you need bunzip on
a production box?), "dpkg --set-selections and dpkg --get-selections
can speed things up.  If you need more control look at puppet or chef.

I thought dhclient (the isc dhcp-client) was default?
