Also IPV6 targets add ping6, but it also needs gcrypt or crypto

That's a deal breaker. The inetutils ping6 works without those packages. This whole thing is because Richard does not want to add a 6 to a name in /etc/hosts like:

127.0.1.1 turing
::1       ip6-localhost ip6-loopback turing6

I'm not going to add multiple packages to just accommodate this. Users are, of course, able to add the appropriate packages themselves.
