Actually, /etc/default/dhcpd3-server does NOT override 
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. It provides command line options for the 
startup script in /etc/init.d to pass to the server.

You either need a config file (and /etc/default is standard on Debian 
based systems) or you end up hacking the startup scripts to set 
options.
