You must have missed this at the end of the dhclient.conf man page:
This is a very complicated dhclient.conf file - in gen-
eral, yours should be much simpler. In many cases, it's
sufficient to just create an empty dhclient.conf file -
the defaults are usually fine.
I agree though, I was a bit aghast at the number of options, but
then, I'm aghast at the options for ppp too :^P
