Comment (by doddel):
Thanks for considering the issue.
Actually disagree because in practice the coexistance of the two packages
is not graceful because the functionality they offer is not 1:1 identical.
Had to find that out because my source-routing scripts that work fine with
iproute2 did not work with Busybox's version. iproute2 is more extensive
and understands more options than Busybox's version. And of course it is
wasteful to have twice more or less the same code on board. It is nice to
have the choice between the more compact but simplified Busybox version or
the full kit of iproute2. But i.m.h.o. it should be presented and
implemented as a conscious choice and not a coexistance where it is left
to the search order of directories.
