I don't have time to check right now, but it may not be on the DVD
at all. The DVD image is not large enough to hold all the packages,

DVD image only holds the more commonly used packages.

OK. I've found it on a repository. Thanks.
It seems somewhat silly not to provide DHCP server on the DVD, as that
needs to be set up in a new installation before users can install and
connect to the network. It's only about 95kb.
It's not something most people will use, however. It would be nice, but
it would also be nice, now that CD support has been dropped in favor of
DVD-only, to realize the most current DVD hardware supports D/L and an
8.3GB DVD image could support everything, or more nearly so.
The current DVD image is nowhere near full, Debian Stable's on three DVD
images, all over 4 Gbytes.

There's space for about another Gbyte.
