No one is removing ifconfig yet, it's merely not installed by default
anymore -- so if you insist, just "apt install net-tools".

ifconfig is inadequate for a number of widespread setups, though, and will
provide bad output without a warning. You had two decades to migrate --
this is about the slowest deprecation I've seen, as it has been degraded
from priority:important to priority:optional only now.
