A followup: there is a busybox-free set put together in
meta/recipes-extended/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-base-utils.bb
which includes ifupdown only if systemd is not in use.

However that packagegroup is not used in any images, and the only test for
it is in lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/imagefeatures.py
which does enable systemd, so that doesn't pull in ifupdown either.

This means ifupdown isn't runtime-tested now, and probably hasn't been
tested for a while.
