luci-app-tailscale-community: Missing Dependency ip

Start with the package metadata for luci-app-tailscale-community and inspect how its dependency on ip is declared. Compare the available ip-full package on the reported OpenWrt release and verify the dependency warning in LuCI; done means installation no longer reports a missing dependency while Tailscale remains installable.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Actual behaviour

Missing Dependency Warning. Still installs and since I have the standard equivalent package "ip-full" package installed, there is no issue that I am aware of. Everything works fine as of now despite this installation error:

Expected behaviour

When attempting to install package, warning message comes up that one dependency (ip) is missing. Would of expected the package to have a "or" for the ip-full package that exist that contains the full "ip" toolset. I don't think even in OpenWRT X86 builds have I seen a regular "ip" package in a repository. Other than that, everything I have tested so far works without a problem, I guess proving that the ip-full package is the proper package to use for this.

Steps to reproduce

I only have Dynalink DL-WRX36 running v25.12.2 and a few Gli.Net routers, none of their repositories show a "ip" only package. So the best way to reproduce this is to attempt to install this package in the LUCI UI:

1. Log into router
2. Navigate to System -> Software and put "luci-app-tailscale-community" in the filter bar and then hit update list
3. Attempt to install the package, will see the missing dependency warning I showed in the screenshot.
