I do not believe this is an error.
Per dhclient.conf.5, the script directive specifies a DHCP client
configuration script, and in the example given in the EXAMPLES section, it
is entirely reasonable to have a custom configuration script for that
interface. In that case, the default /sbin/dhclient-script would not be
appropriate, and a custom version of it needed. Putting such a custom
configuration script in /etc is in keeping with the traditional location
for system configuration files.
