The direction in the patch is worrying me a little. There is a bash-completion class which splits completion files into their own package, most "embedded" users don't want them in the main packages. This patch does something different to what has been done elsewhere. Secondly, I'm also not sure that just because debian does something we should therefore do it, I'm not convinced that scripts should be hardcoding path assumptions about these tools. IF this is such a universal need, why doesn't upstream change the default installation locations? Has it been discussed? I'd expect there to be opinions on this topic but I'm not seeing much discussion. I suspect if if does merge there would be push back later though. Also, the duplication between bin and sbin for ip is not particularly good practise. Cheers, Richard
