Indeed our current default networking setup is lacking some
functionality from "wg", that is the key generation and display of
dynamic information (like "lastest-handshake" and "transfer-rx/tx" from
"wg show"), while most of the other static information of a current
WireGuard setup is also available via the "netplan get" command. So is
the configuration part (given the required keys) via netplan YAML
configuration using either the systemd-networkd or NetworkManager
backend.

So we need to make a call if we want to accept some duplicated
maintenance (configuration & static info parts) in favor of gaining the
full upstream standard tools support, incl. key generation (which we
probably need).

Thank you for all your input, I will consult the rest of the MIR team
about this!

A compromise could be splitting up the package to keep out wg-quick, but
I wonder if that's worth the effort, as wg-quick is a pretty small and
clear script only (in addition to some systemd unit configuration).
