Package: iproute2
Version: 6.12.0-1

Blue on a black background is as impossible to read as yellow on
white. Obviously it is not reasonable to modify the foreground
color without taking the background color into accout. Could you
please make sure ip and the other tools in iproute2 produce a
readable output *by default*? 

AFAIU upstream's default is COLOR_OPT_NEVER, see commit
c31fd80a2268c0b1b77e1d65827003a2327315b8 . Sounds reasonable to
me.


Thank you very much
Harri
