Looking at the reverse dependencies, these packages appear to profit from libnl3 being available from /lib/. libnl3: iw - tool for configuring Linux wireless devices executed from a udev rule (shipped by crda) to set regulatory domain hints for mac80211 based wlan drivers wpasupplicant - client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) e.g. nfs mounting /usr/ over wpa/ wpa2 encrypted wlan libnl2: <apparently none critical> libnl1: crda - wireless Central Regulatory Domain Agent udev rule to set regulatory domain hints for mac80211 based wlan drivers, can be switched to libnl-3 trivially (I'm going submit an according patch upstream and to Debian) ipcfg - Network configuration system ifupdown replacement (experimental only), currently located in /usr/bin/ would need porting to libnl3 The other reverse dependencies of the various libnl variants appear not to be required during early boot, before /usr/ gets mounted, at a first glance. iw, wpasupplicant (hostapd) and crda only need libnl-3.so.200 and libnl-genl-3.so.200.
