Details

In [testing], net-tools was introduced as a dependency of dhcpcd-5.2.12-2 as the latter invokes `ifconfig` twice in /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/10-mtu to set the MTU.

As we are deprecating net-tools (that's why hostname and other essential binaries moved to inetutils), I strongly suggest that we rewrite the two offending lines as `ip link set "$interface" mtu "$new_interface_mtu"` and remove the net-tools dependency.
This task depends upon
