The second libiw-dev bug, so the same reasoning as in bug 2072667 applies here 
as well.
As in even what is working, barely supports any devices as the interface moved 
on.

Furthermore it has no integration into any modern networking like
systemd-networkd/NM, only to ifupdown.

Additionally it was removed from testing [1] as part of libwibble.
Which means it will come back with actual updates (hopefully addressing more) 
or more likely as it seems stay dormant and bit rot further. [2] Indicates it 
had plenty of issues that never have been addressed.

And while I consider it unlikely to happen, as you said it can be added
back when (if) they switch to a new dependency.

Ack to the request
