IPv4 addresses beyond the first on an interface, leading to hard to diagnose
problems.

[{...}/debian/unpacked/binary]$ grep -rlF ifconfig {,s}bin usr/{,s}bin etc
(attached)
395 matches. A bunch are false positives, or even alternate implementations

121 packages, too many to even think about getting rid of ifconfig in the
short term...
