Checked the source -- seems like the script_init/script_go is called
the proper number of times, but the EXIT cause is missing.  And I
see that dhclient-script is called on the lease renewals too: the
forwarders file is renewed.  The EXIT is not relevant to me now,
but I will think of possible scenarios where it would be needed.

Do you know why the EXIT case is unhandled?
