Shouldn't we set it to the safer behaviour of
 ddns-update-style none;
so at least people get it running right away.

If you take an old config and don't know about the command
ddns-update-style you're lost for some time till you stumble over it
somewhere, like I did once.

I suggest using this as a starting config (simple_dhcpd.conf):

##---CUT---##
# a minimal /etc/dhcpd.conf example

# this statement is needed by dhcpd-3
# it needs at least this statement.
## REMOVE the '#' from the following line, otherwise it wont start
#ddns-update-style none;

# this subnet is served by us
authoritative;

# declare the lease times (the time after which a client will renew its lease)
default-lease-time              600;    # 10 minutes
max-lease-time                  7200;   # 2 hours

# let's give the local domain a name
# (which should correlate to your name server configuration)
option domain-name              "beer";

# this assumes that your dhcp server is also the router for the subnet
option routers                  192.168.0.1;

# clients shall use this host as nameserver, too
option domain-name-servers      192.168.0.1;

# this can explicitely be specified
option broadcast-address        192.168.0.255;

# these 10 addresses will be given out dynamically
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.20;
  # options may also be put here if they are not global
}

# this host is known by its hardware address and
# we want a fixed address for it
host murauer {
   hardware ethernet 00:30:65:6F:A5:D4;
   fixed-address 192.168.0.5;
}
