Ran just into it myself: This is really a serous issue as it completely
breaks the IP network. An unexperienced user is getting doomed here.

I suggest, you just remove all the rdepends from the arping package.
This will prevent uninstalling the iputils package with all its
dependencies. As arping's binary installs in /usr/sbin/, iputil's arping
will not be harmed, both will live together peacefully.
