You can invoke manually whatever you like (dhclient is available by
default on grml as well). But pump is used inside grml-autoconfig
because it's faster than dhclient.
The Debian way of life is to configure /etc/network/interfaces like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
if you want to use DHCP for eth0. You don't have to care what's
running in the background. It just works.
