Which version of dhcpcd do you use?

According to configure.ac, on v4 (and later, I guess) is fully supported:

AC_ARG_WITH([dhcpcd], AS_HELP_STRING([--with-dhcpcd=yes|no|path], [Enable dhcpcd
4.x support]))
...
		AC_MSG_CHECKING(for dhcpcd)
		# We fully work with upstream dhcpcd-4
		for path in /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/pkg/sbin /usr/local/sbin; do
			test -x "${path}/dhcpcd" || continue
			case `"$path/dhcpcd" --version 2>/dev/null` in


I'm wondering if this could cause problems, given that Debian ships both dhcpcd
v3 and v5 and /sbin/dhcpcd is managed via alternatives.

Cheers,
Michael
