Hi Waldemar!
Broadly speaking, I concur, but I have done nothing (to-date)
to try and confirm, or to research the history of the issue.
Actually, I am more inclined to the either-or approach, that is,
if a package needs "argp" functionality, then either arp-standalone
or (if using uClibc-ng) uClibc's arp functionality must be present.
However, I'm uncertain how to do that...? ;-\ (Any pointers?)

That is good to know, thanks!

Maybe. *Speculating*, I suspect all I will be able to do is cook
up trial Patch(es?) with rng-tools as the Test case.
cheers!
