net-tools have been deprecated in 2009 and after 10 years debian
finally finished the transition of all packages to the iproute tools.

ubuntu just inherited this switch in the archive. there are various
links to the respective distro deprecation notes at [1].

there is a blog post at [2] pointing out the replacements (from
2010)...

Ubuntu added a new high-level network configuration tool called netplan
that you should use in general nowadays [3]
