Absolutely.

I get the same behaviour from ifconfig on another sid machine (this one
is behind my firewall, and the firewall is the sid machine I wrote about
in my earlier email).

Both machines are running 2.4.2 with latest sid. Unfortunately, I don't
have access to a potato system, otherwise I would verify the behaviour
of ifconfig under potato.

Here is the result of running debsums on net-tools:
