Yup, this is why the source for nwamd and netcfgd is where it
is.

And to answer the next question: nwamd and netcfgd must be in
/lib/inet, not /usr/lib/inet, because they have to be able to
run before /usr is mounted (that is, filesystem/usr depends on
a long chain of services that ultimately leads to a dependency
on network/physical).
