I was wondering how you can supress the debugging information from the dhcpcd client in the initalization of the gentoo system. I was reading the dhcpcd.conf manual page and it had a background option, but it is kind of wierd because this options in the /etc/dhcpcd.conf are not even documentated in the manual page.

dhcp_config

# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.

# dhcpcd-run-hooks uses these options.
option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name

# Most distros have ntp support.
#option ntp_servers

# We should behave nicely on networks and respect their MTU.
# However, a lot of buggy DHCP servers set invalid MTUs so this is not
# enabled by default.
#option interface_mtu


dhcpcd_version

net-misc/dhcpcd
Latest version available: 4.0.6

Does anyone here know a solution to supress the debugging information ?

The options directive is documented.
I suppose what it doesn't say is that you can use dhcpcd -V to obtain a list of options you can request.

But as to your query, you can add the quiet command.

You ought to request this to be added to the man page at http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd/newticket
