Ahh, that is interesting. I'll take a look at it sometime and see how to
incorporate it.

Yeah. I called perl directly at first but then decided to prefer an external
patch, as it is cleaner.
And from what I gathered, the different upstream versions don't differ that
much, that each new release would need a new patch.
In case that should prove to be false, I'll incorporate your decruft() call. ;)

Yes, that looks like a nice feature, to have tailored configuration for the
lokal net, right out of the box.
But I am not that sure, if it is such a good idea. RedHat has in the past kept
their config files more general and leave the configuration to the local admin.
Not as debian, which does a lot of configuration at package installation time
through debhelper.
Furthermore, I think grepping through the output of the route command is a bit
risky, as it's prone to fail if the system has no network yet or could pick up
the wrong systems if the laptop is somewhere else.

If other people think, that is a good idea to implement something, I can do
that. But right now, I prefer to leave that to the enduser.

:-D
