I know why iproute2 is installed.  Like I said before, I have openvpn
installed with the iproute2 use flag.

What I didn't know was why iproute2 was being used by the startup
system when the handbook said that ifconfig was the defalt.  I hadn't
overridden that default, so I was expecting ifconfig to be used by the
startup system.
