no, in VNET jails the jail does routing itself, including IP address
assignment.  while i personally prefer to do this statically, i believe
it's fairly common to use DHCP (for IPv4) or SLAAC (for IPv6) to handle
this automatically, especially in mass-hosting setups.

since dhclient is fairly small (150kB) and DHCP is something people
typically expect to "just work", i am leaning on the side of putting
this into minimal-jail unless anyone has a strong objection.
