I did some investigating during the week and came to pretty much the
same patch.  But the existing "don't remove an existing address"
behaviour looked like a design decision and I went digging to find
exactly what ip->client->active represented - and, in particular,
whether in could represent an address that dhclient hadn't added to
the interface.  I did find that it could be read from the leases file
but didn't have time to fully work through the code.

If you're happy that this patch can't incorrectly remove a pre-existing
IP address (I'm now reasonably confident that it can't), then I'm happy
that it otherwise works.
