Hmm, note that recipes/dhcp/files/init-server uses /var/lib/dhcp as well.

dhclient from 3.1.2p1 uses /var/lib/dhcp by default. Maybe one of the
older versions used /var/lib/dhcp3 by default...

I did not spot this myself because dhclient is run from network-manager
on our system, which passes it command line arguments on where to put
the lease file.
