When ifup runs dhclient3, it tells dhclient3 to put its lease file in
/var/run/dhclient.<ifname>.leases. However when bootclean.sh gets called during
boot, it deletes this file (along with almost everything in /var/run). This is
unfortunate because it forces dhclient to get a new lease and may lead to the
system's IP address changing unnecessarily.
