'Tis certainly so. I myself had a homegrown script that I added to
/etc/init.d by hand, but then I heard of the 'ipmasq' package from
this list, and tried it. The ipmasq scripts were nicer and more
complete than the ones I had written, so I decided to keep them, and
toss mine. :)
There's certainly no need to install ipmasq if you're satisfied with
your own scripts, I think.
