That seems reasonable, though i'd hate to have a package i'm
responsible for encouraging the use of ifconfig instead of ip, given
that ifconfig and route "have officially been superseded" by iproute:

 http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-net-low

I notice that the package Priority: headers for net-tools (important)
and iproute (optional) don't seem to reflect that situation, though.
Hrm.

I've added:

  Recommends: net-tools | iproute

let me know if that seems OK to you.

d'oh.  thanks for pointing that out.  i've cleaned up debian/rules
further.  There was no reason to have the install target broken out
that i could tell.  It was just cargo-culted over from more
binary-heavy packages.

Thanks again for your good suggestions.  Let me know if you have any
other concerns about 0.4-2.

Regards,
