Since I needed an |ifconfig| with a more BSD-like interface /anyway/ so
that I didn't have to maintain highly divergent scripts, you are going
to gain in the future.
|ifconfig| from GNU inetutils
<https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/inetutils-tools>:
jdebp % inetutils-ifconfig -l

|ifconfig| from NET-3 net-tools
<https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/net-tools>:
jdebp % ifconfig -l
ifconfig: option `-l' not recognised.
ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.
