Is there any inconvenient for having these merged in
freebsd-utils package?

For the record:

   #605723 contains the wrappers for "route" and "ifconfig",

   #609574 introduces the wrapper for "mount".

The route and mount wrappers are since 2011-02-19  merged in our SVN,
they just wait for uploads of 8.2 series.

Initially I overlooked the ifconfig wrapper as
"#605723 freebsd-net-tools: /sbin/route wrapper does not support IPv6"
does not mention ifconfig.

We currently do not wrap ifconfig, so C code change like

if ((argc == 3) && (0 == strcmp(argv[2], "add")))
        argv[2] = "inet6";

might be easier now.

But in long term (wheezy), IMHO, we should fix ifup/ifdown to use native BSD interface of low level command and stop using wrappers at all.
